If you're considering spring flowering bulbs, there are lots that would do well. You would treat them somewhat like forced bulbs. These are planted in the fall, but on line bulb vendors are starting to list 2015 selections now. However, most spring bulbs aren't so great for keeping in a pot all the time, and provide only a short-term display.
For now you may want to consider some summer bulbs. Various plants, like Caladiums, Begonias, Pineapple Lilies, Oxalis, Cannas, Callas, and many more, are being sold now, and are great in containers.
