Actually, if you put them in the bin with oranges, the bulbs won't
live
once planted. There is something about the acidity of the oranges that
messes up bulbs.

No they are in like onion bags inside the cardboard box they were mailed
in on the shelf, and I seldom buy oranges, just a lemon when I cook
fish.
