True grit

Is there an expression "tenacious as a tulip"?


It impresses me that any plant can push its way through several centimetres of our hard-packed clay soil.  Why should a cinder block's depth of gravel be any more of a deterrent?  Maybe we should add another block this summer, to test the tulips' limits.  Makes me wonder about those very specific planting depths prescribed on bulb packages.
