Hi Jane,
I can report the following bulbs blooming now  in my garden in Niagara on
the Lake, Ontario:
Amarcrynum "Fred Howard", Amarines, Sternbergias, Cyclamen hederifolium ,
Nerine bowdenii, Hippeastrelia "Durga Pradhan", Amaryllis belladonna "Fred
Howard", Oxalis bowiei, Oxalis articulata, Acis autumnalis. My crocus
sativus is not up yet. Not a bulb but my Hedychiums are still in full bloom
so as Alstroemerias.
Here we have cold but sunny winters most of the time. Unreliable snow cover
and very hot dry and sunny summers. The soil is amended to be well draining
and the beds are kept dry and well mulched during winter months.
Regards,
Laura Grant
