questions about bulbs

1. I thought all flowers/bulbs need some sun to bloom?

I have a Dutch Gardens catalog, and some tulips, daffs, etc. have an indicator for full shade. IF I thought they'd bloom in full shade, I'd have planted some tulips along my east facing retaining wall under a huge maple overhead. Though now that I'm thinking out loud, there are no leaves on the tree this time of year. Duh. So I guess they would get SOME sunlight. LOL

2. I have containerized bulbs, some are peeking through. Does it matter if I transplant these to the garden now...will this shock them and prevent them from blooming? Only one hyacinth bloomed which I already moved, and the rest peeking through my container I believe are muscari. Should I wait until they bloom and then move?
