Intro and question re: bulbs

[Deleted]

Hey I just found this board and I have a question but first:

I am Virginia, I'm 26, and I live in Oklahoma zone 7. I have a DD who will be 15 weeks old tomorrow.

My question actually is slightly related to DD because she was born before I had the chance to plant some bulbs this past fall. They are currently sitting in my garage sprouting. So my question is...what do I do with them? I have hyacinths, tulips, and lilies that I KNOW I shouldn't have planted before it turned off cold but I figure if I don't plant them they will die. Will they bloom at all this year or is that unlikely?

I can't help with the bulbs, but wanted to say hi to a fellow Okie!

You may not get many blooms, but I think you need to get them cold. Perhaps put in some pots outside or in a garage? You might also be able to force blooms inside, but I don't know anything about that.

I'm kinda surprised they survived without water this long tbh

I have planted old bulbs before. I forgot I had some to plant in the fall and left them in the garage all winter. I planted them in the spring and they came up the next year. You probably won't get flowers from them this year if you plant them in the spring.

Your other option is to plant them in a pot and keep them in a sunny window indoors. They may grow there, and you could transfer them to the garden in the spring.
