The allium are about done (I have 'Gladiator'/'Globemaster' 'Chrstophii' and 'Purple Sensation') and the lilies are just starting. The orange 'Border' lilies were fading and lost most of their petals in a heavy rain yesterday, but the tiger, trumpet and 'Stargazer' lilies are about to pop.

Gladiolus are technically corms, not bulbs, but I planted a couple dozen last spring. I'm not a diligent gardener and didn't take them in for the winter, but I see I have a lot of them coming back this year. I like having their spires of color in the middle of summer, so I'm glad they persevered.
