I've done it in the past, and it worked just fine. Do you have squirrels, though? In my urban backyard, the squirrels will dig up any bulbs planted in containers, and they especially like tulips! :(

I've kinda done it, but as a once-off, not expecting the display to repeat. I used a 24" pot, with 6" of gravel in the bottom. I then layered bulbs, putting 1" sandy soil between layers. The pot had blooms starting in February with aconite and crocus, and continuing through to late May. I used both Tulips and daffodils of early, mid- and late-season varieties, six to nine bulbs of each for each season. I also had hyacinths which I wouldn't bother doing again in this sort of pot. It did make a good, long-lasting show, however it required watering with a weak fertilizer every day, and attention to snipping off discolored leaves (in a pot, the dying leaves are very in-your-face). I found the daffies to be more showy and durable than the tulips, but that may have been due to the warm spring weather that year. I didn't have a squirrel problem, perhaps due to the daffies (at home, I've noticed that they don't dig near the daffy bulbs). BTW, I planted the pot in October, and it wintered over in a corner of an open patio, but near the walls. You do want the bulbs to refrigerate but you don't want them to freeze solid.

Would I do it again? Yes - if someone else were paying for the bulbs! A pretty pot is a crowded pot, which is not good for nourishing bulbs for a second blooming season.
