Bet, glad you enjoyed the reticulated irises
I haven't tried it myself, but many actually grow these in a pot with a gritty mix so that might be an idea for you, if you have trouble keeping bulbs in ground.
To facilitate summer lifting of bulbs it can be great to use bulb plant trays, especially if the area is small. I do this myself. Just remember that many,-especially small bulbs are best stored in some dry sand, as they may dry out too much otherwise.
I agree on the advice to look for some bulbs that would be likely to tolerate a bit more moisture and to give you some ideas, you could try some Erythronium, snowdrops and why not some Fritillaria meleagris.
