Default spring bulbs

I'm new to this so not sure how this is posted, but would like to find
out about sprouting tulip and narcissus bulbs I have found, that were
outside so have had the cold and now are sprouting. Don't want to put
them in the ground so can I pot them up to ensure flowering this year,
either inside or out?

Hi Andrea,
When posting here it's always good to have something relevant in the Subject or
people may not look at your post (this ones OK, but you posted the same question
under "Andrea")

Plant the bulbs asap. A pot will be OK, but they may not flower this year as
they should have been building up their growth over the winter. But if you leave
them to die down in the pot and feed them they will probably flower next year.
