Default Old bulbs.

A couple of weeks ago, I planted out a lot of bulbs that had been
forgotten about. These are crocuses, daffodils, tulips, anenomes,
snowdrops. The bulbs appeared in good condition, some sprouting green,
but no roots. They have gone into "bulb compost". What will happen to
them? Will they go, come up blind, flower at the same time, or what?

TIA

Possibly all three, possibly not .... your guess is as good as anyones. What
you did when you found them is what counts ... you planted them. Depending
they'll either come up late this year or may sulk and settle to wait for the
right timing of the seasons to come up.
