Tulips need sun and really well draining soil, so if you can't give them that, it would be better to pot them up. Those terracotta pots would have been ideal The daffs will be fine there, but you'd need to be careful of the tree roots, especially as they need to be planted quite deep. The dwarf ones would be easier as the bulbs are smaller. There seem to be a lot of roots showing in your photo. Are you adding more soil there? Alliums can be hit and miss - they benefit from feeding as they die back too, like most bulbs.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Stop boasting @Balgay.Hill It turned out quite pleasant here yesterday. Windy, and a bit of rain now and again, but we even got a tiny bit of watery sun in the afternoon. That passes for really good at this time of year

We planted 200 bulbs in a new raised bed hubby made, just the tulips to go in later.Glad you mentioned CamasiasFairy wanted to plant some in the wildflower area. We are clay,north facing back slightly sloping, normally with "heavy", rain,it will get a couple of inches of water at the bottom, we've not had that for when I checked cheeky phone had changed camasia to Canadian!!
They like soil that doesn't dry out -lovely plants, but the foliage is quite big and messy, so it helps to have something sizeable to hide that while it dies back. I've got things like Dicentras in front of mine, and J. anemones for later on. It depends on how bothered you'd be by that, and how much you'd see it, but mine are quite visible from various parts of the garden, so it helps to have a succession of planting. The white semi plena one is really nice.

Thats not my photo, its just a screenshot from the website showing how to put the garden ring in - it was halfway through the video as he was filling in the hole. I've got dwarf daffs.
