Cape bulb growing in Taiwan

I thought Taiwan was quite cool at high elevations, and why not the more
northerly south African flora from the East Cape which would appreciate
extra warmth and summer rain.
Surely many winter growing African bulbs might well accommodate
temperatures in Taiwan provided they are not really high altitude and cool
growing species, and provided that water is restricted during hotter times
of the year

how do the temperatures in this link compare to conditions which members of
the PBS in warmer areas grow South African bulbs?

Sure you can, just not outside in the ground. You need a greenhouse or
some
sort of other protection so they don't rot in the summer rain/humidity.
Getting enough coolness in winter might also be an issue, depending on the
elevation at which you're growing the bulbs.
