G Use them and some potting soil and pot the bulbs up, put them outside, and let them go ahead and develop some roots. This works especially well for lilies, as they don't hold well either refrigerated or non refrigerated. When you get ready to plant them, if the roots have started circling, tease them gently apart and plant just as you would any other potted plant, bearing in mind the needed depth that the bulb requires.
