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.
I would try established nurseries for some of these bulbs. Mail order companies like Parks in Greenwood, SC will also carry them. A. Tulips are one of those beautiful northern things that take some work to pull off here. They are not suitable in the ground or pots except for one blooming period. You may be able to purchase them from one of the bulb houses, pre-chilled and ready for planting in the fall.
