I've got nothing but clay in my yard (well, I've slowly enriched some of the beds--but it will take me forever). My tulips have come up.
I also had a few leftover tulips last winter that were sprouting and stuck them deep in pots. I put them outdoors and they came up much closer to spring.
Of course, I'm pretty much pleased when any of my flowers flower. Our house is on old farm land and it's pretty much grass...and weeds... Since we've moved in, we keep getting April snows that zap the trees and flowers in spring...
