when to replant lily bulbs from pot to ground

I may have already posted this, but just in case!
I grew lilly trees in pots last summer but want to grow them in the ground next year.  Do I leave them in their pots until spring, or get the bulbs out now and dry them and replant in spring?

    Where are you keeping your pots at present? Are they outside or in a greenhouse. If the latter they should be ok kept in the pot in dry compost. If they are ouside I would be inclined to take them out of the pot, dry them off and keep frost-free before planting out next Spring.

    The delay in responding I've got a bit behind on emails my bulbs are currently in a workshop the equivalent of a garage so they're quite dry but still in the pots so I think following from what you said I'll wait leave them as they are and plant them in spring
