The rounded rim pots came from HD and they are a good size. Living in a container is not ideal for any bulb, but it can work. I had a Henryii lily live in a container for several years - I was ignoring it, until I finally gave it a place in a bulb bed. I will show you a photo of it later this year. It is important to let the foilage of any bulb mature fully and to dead head the flower. Let the container dry out toward the end of summer, and you should have a viable bulb for the next year.

Here is a picture of a group of tulips that is just beginning for me. The red ones are Merry Christmas. The white one is White Magic. And the Rembrandt-type is Grand Perfection from Brent & Becky. This is going to be a good display, but I am surprised by the stunted heights at bloom time!
