Tulip Bulbs

Rummaging around my seed collection for spring I have come across some tulip bulbs I should have planted before Christmas....
What should I do with them now? Is it too late to plant outside/ pots or do they keep until next winter? Or have I killed them already

Plant them, they might be OK
They'll be dead by before next winter
In the sticks near Peterborough
Unless they've dried and shrivelled they should be fine. They'll flower later than usual though.
I've just this afternoon found some tulip bulbs, and they've started sprouting! So I'll plant them in pots I think. Any ideas what I can put with them, or would they look alright on their own. How many to a pot (in inches for the pot)?
Jennifer, as they are late, if it were me, I would cram then in a pot, double layered, as long as they dont actually touch each other they will look lovely.
