Spring Bulbs leftover from Autumn

I have some tulip and daffodil bulbs that I meant to plant in Autumn but never got round to it. They have been stored in a cupboard since October and some of them have sprouted - do I need to bin them, or should I just get them into a container asap? Thanks

    Plant them asap - they'll either survive or they won't but at least you've tried image

    Plant them - they may still flower,  but will be very late or they may just grow leaves and will flower next year (at least the daffs will - the tulips may or may not.)

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I have a collection of tip bulbs that I threw into an empty plant pot (no soil) last autumn, and they remained there over winter as I never got around to throwing them out. A few weeks ago I noticed they had sprouted and so I've planted them up.
