Will they live?

So, I was looking for some of my garden tools today and I found 3 packs of flower bulbs that we bought on clearance and forgot to plant! They're completely dry now. Do you think if I planted them they would come back this year?

Can't hurt to try.

That's what I was thinking too @catjac1975

If you don't plant them they are guaranteed to not come up. If you do plant them you at least have a chance. If they still have some weight to them and have not dried out light as a feather, you still have a chance. Maybe not a good chance but better than the alternative.

Well, quite a few of them WERE completely dry and light.
I planted them. I guess we will see! *fingers crossed*

I did the same, waiting till more snow melts. I think I was going to try forcing them indoors and forgot about them.

Ditto. I found 2 packages my Dad gave me in the fall! I was so excited, but never got them in the ground ...
He died shortly after. So, my finding them lead to a fit of showers I thought "great I could've/should've planted them an been reminded of Dad in a happy way in the spring, but you screwed that up"
Now I am going to try planting them anyway! WTHeck
Thanks for the inspiration once again, you all

@Jeni Ann fingers crossed they grow

 

[Jeni Ann]

Thanks, Nyboy! At least I'll give it a go.

Where they daffodils? (I am no help as I did not get any.) Used to have lots, they got moved and did not do well and Dog dug some up.
