forcing OTHER summer bulbs indoors - possible?

I've been entranced by pictures of Watsonia and Tritonia blooming in tropical climates, or at least zones 7-8 +. Can these be forced indoors in the winter the way we do Amaryllis, or the way we do crocus et al? Paperwhites and freesia? OK, that's all the bulbs I've ever forced. So does anybody know if I can do something similar with these wonderful southern bulbs? Maybe I have to enjoy them in the summer like Dahlias? Please not that, there are plenty of summer-blooming flowers up here and not too many in the winter...

I'm ROFL because I found a couple dozen gladiolus that I'd "lost" behind the potting bench... I didn't think they'd keep until next spring, so I plopped them into the big containers with the banana trees! We will see how that works out! I have my doubts... but I couldn't bear to just compost them!

Gladiolus need a lot of direct light/sunlight to make a flower. I had them on the edge of a wooded area and they never bloomed.....planted in the full sun and they grew gorgeous flowers.

hahaha, I guess the joke's on me..... Maybe I'll see if I can keep them in a state of semi-dormancy in the basement, then plant them out in spring... wonder if they'd flower then? Ah, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained...
