First you need to leave foliage on them for 5 or 6 weeks so that they can put enough food away to bloom next year. If you don't want to leave a stake in the ground after the foliage dies down because it interferes with mowing then this what I would do. Put a stake or something into the ground near the bulbs and then take a picture. This way you'll know where the bulbs are relative to the stake. To relocate the stake in the fall run a string from each corner of the house and measure each leg. This will allow you to relocate the stake. See the picture I attached.
