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?
2 When when would the best time to plant them: now or wait to next Autumn?
3 If wait to Autumn should I do anything to help preserve them?

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

And feed them well when they do grow so they can make big bulbs for next
year
