You have an answer here

As for Treteleia - they used to be known as Brodiaea - I think I'd start them off in pots as with the gladiolus and then plant them out. Once established they can be left in the ground over-winter to naturalise

Yeah just trying to get as many comments so you think I should start of in pots before putting in borders
Patience needed - not many people around overnight Nick
If you think your query has been missed then the best thing to do is just to bump it up to the top again by posting on it, rather than starting a new thread on the same query which can be confusing and lead to both being ignored 
I would start the bulbs off in pots indoors and harden them off later before planting them out - you'll get earlier flowers that way.
As for the dahlias - some good advice here http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/problem-solving/starting-off-dahlia-tubers/2539.html
