For a more prosaic bulb suggestion, crocuses and daffodils would do fine in
that environment (unless your winters are too warm for them?) If you feel
like trying again with a few non-bulbs, salad burnet would do well and look
good year-round (Sanguisorba -- evergreen, ferny, very tough, and
edible. And you could plant it just by scattering seed on the soil
surface. I do this, and I am an extremist who doesn't sow ANYTHING in
place.) Also, sweet violets, daylilies, crocosmia (but are they too tall
for your camellias?), foxgloves (you can get shorter varieties, especially
in the wild species-type ones), allysums, pinks and sweet williams -- these
last four are also all ones that you can grow just by scattering seed in
place -- a definite benefit where the digging is hard! The more I think
about this, the more plants I think of, but this is probably enough of a
list -).
