I am renewing some planting in my woodland garden, and I need to move some
colchicum bulbs. Although they are not yet showing, they must be getting
ready to flower by now. If I lift them in the next week or so, I am
risking losing the bulbs? I appreciate that I could lose the flowers this
year,
but could tolerate that provided the bulbs survive.

Now is just about the best time to move them, take care when you dig the
bulbs out. I've dug them out when they have been in flower and they have all
survived. The time *not* to transplant them is during the spring and early
summer when they are in leaf.
