I think that with bulbs, like with any other plant, it is best to research the growing conditions in the native habitat and use those to determine the best watering schedule. Some bulbs are adapted to the Mediterranean-climate life of winter-wet, summer-dry. Other bulbs are summer growing and winter-dormant. Some bulbs are tolerant of moisture outside of the normal growing season, while others are very temperamental. The PBS wiki is an excellent resource. In addition to the species info, there are some amazing precipitation/temperature maps.
