Confused Transplanting bulbs

Sub-tropical zone here and heading into winter (1st of June in Australia) and although winter in my local area doesn't get particularly cold, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if I could transplant some bulbs into different pots or into the ground after they've begun to shoot their leaves? Last year they flowered beautifully in the pots but I was living at much higher altitude in a fairly cold area. Now I'm seaside and warmer. I just don't want to kill them off although they're probably pretty tough. I've always transplanted things like aggapanthus but they don't die down. These ones I'm wanting to transplant die down to bare bulbs by summer.

So, I've got jonquils and blue hyacynth.

The hyacynth is only just shooting out of the pot, so there's hardly any green growth there, but some of the jonquils are already showing leaves of more than a foot in your measurement.

Thanks in advance.
