Your answer is in this wonderful old movie called "Being There" with Peter Sellers (his last and playing the character called "Chancy Gardener"), which I am sure you must have seen at some point. But, it is worth going back and watching it again - the very last scene, in particular, is truly and anomalously precious (I am not gonna ruin it for you in case you haven't seen it or don't remember it), especially for an avid gardener like you. So again, I'll let "Chancy" tell you when to plant those flowering bulbs!

in simple terms dig them up and plant them now on a similar intensity they have been earlier with the leaves linked. as quickly as the bloom is spent, decrease off the stem. enable the foliage to proceed to be till it turns yellow and then pull it gently from the bulb. The leaves will proceed to make food for next years blooms. whilst the leaves turn yellow, they might desire to have the flexibility to be bumped off with a comfortable tug. ultimate to characteristic some bulb food or bone meal to the soil once you plant. stable success

Before the first hard frost and most definitely before the first freeze. Bulbs like cold ground to grow in or become establlished, but if it's frozen, the establishing time is drastically reduced. They need to be introduced to the cold slowly. Just make sure the bulbs you select are proven to grow in your area.

Plant now, while the ground is still warm enough to work.

It depends in what zone you live in....
Here in the NW we plant them in October or November.
