I have been given a box of 100 different spring/early summer bulbs that should have been planted last Autumn. Although they are a little dry they are still firm.
1 Are they still likely to flower?

Like you I found a box of mixed bulbs yesterday, I've planted them into pots
Most of them should still flower,
Plant as soon as possible
