Can I plant bulbs now?

I've only just received my free bulbs from Thomas & Morgan, can I plant them now or is it too late? It's the 15 lily bulbs collection. Thanks, very new to gardening!

    Yes Bev, plant them now.  They will still grow leaves even if they don't flower this year and it is the leaves which feed the bulbs ready for next year's flowers.  Bulbs stored dry will just slowly shrivel and probably die.

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

    I would plant them , if you don't they will dry up lookup planting directions , I think you need to put them fairly deep
