Bulbs for hot summers

Thanks everyone for your very inspiring suggestions. I'm looking forward to
the new conditions almost as much as I am mourning the imminent loss of my
cloud forest. I will surely have more questions once I acquire a yard.

Various Narcissus grow very happily here in Auckland. I plant mine in
shady places. They don't need sun here. And they come up year after
year, multiplying. And this is zone 10.
Ixias and Freesias tend to become like weeds here.
Hippeastrums do fine here in the open garden, as long as it is afairly
dry area. Well drained.

Narcissus tazzeta (paperwhites) No other Narcissus survive here in the
ground, but maybe your lower temperatures and theoretically greater
rainfall would help. Try them.
