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 http://www.travelchinaguide.com/climate/taipei.htm how do the temperatures in this link compare to conditions which members of the PBS in warmer areas grow South African bulbs?
