I still need to go get insulation to wrap the trunk.

you never know about frost. Its almost like the weatherguys are crying wolf. After a while of their nonsense I've learned to figure out the weather myself. Its also something to not worry too much about. The corm wont freeze from a frost, of course the plants will look bad but that's the indicator of them saying the season is over
As for insulating the trunks I get my bubbles at work but I believe you can get them at Lowes, home depot, menards, etc. Mulch is another key thing to get. Use lots of it.
