Most bulbs have a fairly short blooming season here. I have tried several kinds with varying success. Eucharis lily is one beauty that is fragrant and likes shade. It has white daffodil-like flowers in February and March. It is very slow growing and somewhat expensive, but I would rate it highly.
Rain lily is a small summer bloomer that comes in pink, white or yellow.
It is very pretty and is somewhat like crocus. Amaryllis of various colors are available, but the orange-red form is most common here. It blooms in April and all have evergreen foliage. Spider lily is a fragrant white summer bloomer reaching 2-3 feet. Spider lily likes sun.
