Colchicums; Autumn Crocus

I've been reading about these of late and wondered if anybody out there in
Zones 5/6 grows them. As I recall, they are rather expensive, at least the
colchicums are; the few I have seen seem to come up one year, bloom for a
few days, much of that time looking rather feeble, and then disappear
forever. So my question is, are these bulbs to take seriously if you
garden in the Midwest? Are they difficult to grow, as I suspect?
