Hi marieortiz,
I grow German bearded reblooming irises, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, tritonia, babiana, muscari, lycoris radiata, dahlias, liatris and daylilies in addition to the lilies. Yes, my tulips and hyacinths DID return for me!
I have (in the past) also tried acidanthera, cannas, tigridia, crocosmia with decent results.
In the background of that picture you can see irises, gallardia, sedum, and rudbeckias (both perennials grown from seed).
In your heat, I would strongly recommend these annuals and perennials:
Salvia
Gallardia (easy from seeds)
Rudbeckias (easy from seeds)
Mexican Heather
Angelonia
Echinacea
Gaura
African Daisy
Gazania
Mexican Hat (easy from seeds)
Zinnias (easy from seeds)

Here's a cactus flowered zinnia for you (seeds from Wal Mart!)
