critter - so true.
My Bletilla striata's bloom time varies a lot depending on where it is planted - the purple one in fuller sun has been blooming for weeks, and this white one in mostly shade just started blooming.
Bulbine frutescens has become a mainstay in my garden. It stays green year round so it provides color throughout the winter.
I have the orange blooms and the yellow ones. They multiply nicely and the clumps can double in size in 3 years.
