This is the time of year I like to move stuff around, it's cooler, finally no mosquitoes. I haven't had any problems with moving these around at any time, except when it's too hot and the existing leaves dehydrate. New ones grow soon though. I've been waiting for frost to finish off the foliage on the ones here because I want to move a really big one that's blocking the view out the kitchen window. DH could probably pick it up with its' giant heavy leaves on it, but it's easier to just wait - and won't spoil the show. I wouldn't water anything while it's dormant, cold, especially a bulb of significant size. Part of what a bulb does is store water.
