Planting spent bulbs in garden

Some potted Iris reticulata and crocus have now gone over.  I would like to use them to fill in gaps next year, if they come back. 
Can they be transferred to the ground now or must I lift and wait until Autumn?
Thanks

    You can plant them now, while you can see where you want them to be. Put them a bit deeper than the pot depth (with some extra soil on top) - particularly the iris.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
