What type of flower bulbs can be planted in the spring and bloom this year?

I planted 56 glads last year and not one of them came up. Hopefully they will this year? Is there any type of bulbs that can be planted in early spring and will flower that year? ( I live in Michigan)

Go to your local garden center. All the summer bulbs have arrived.The spring-flowering bulbs need to be planted in the fall, though.

Sorry.
Reply:There are a lot of things you can plant in Michigan, just ask the folks at Michigan Bulb Co. The real question is, how much sun, moisture, and what kind of soil do you have? Glads are easy and usually reproduce to the point of being weedy. Was the ground soggy? Did it have full sun? Did you plant them too deep? You can try cannas, callas, dahlias, iris, elephant's ear (ok that's just leaves), some narcissus, and others. Note, some of these are technically rhizomes and not bulbs, but kinda sorta fit what you're asking.
Reply:Dahlias are not a bulb but can be planted in Spring and will put out a profusion of flowers. Freesai might also do this depending on where you live. The Dahlia is more like a tuber.
Reply:spotted toad iris, but it won't bloom until fall.
