Transporting Bulbs...best way.

I am the proud owner of a huge bed of spider lillies or "naked ladies" as they are sometimes referred to. I have scoured the woods here in Louisiana for the past 4 years and have acquired quite the collection. We are moving to Oklahoma in June. I want to take them with me. Since they bloom in September and the greenery remains all winter, the greenery is just now beginning to yellow. This is the time that I would cut off the tops and let the bulb rest until that gorgeous bloom pops up in September. How should I move them? Should I dig up the bulbs and transplant them into a huge vat of soil or should I dig up the bulbs and dust them with an antifungal of some sort and store them dry until we move. I must add that we are building and the new house will not be ready until September. So about the time we move in, and they're ready for planting is the time the flower will normally bloom. anyone have any suggestions?
