Plant Pauper, you are being naughty consider your self spanked. You should read the lazy gardener book there are a lot of laughs but some good advice even for us old hands, problem I cannot remember the Author.
Get a long tray about six inches deep fill with good compost with maybe just a dusting of bone meal, put the large bulbs (if there are any) near the bottom and build the rest up almost touching then water in.
They may only grow leaves, good they will take in the sunshine (if we get any) and fatten the bulb for next year, even if they lay forgotten through winter they will come next year.
I have a mass of Daffodils on the front lawn that have grown in number year on year providing me with a lovely show this year for four weeks, they lay hidden under a tree that over grew so had to go and then_______ lovely. NOW GET YOUR Bottom out there and plant.
Mumble good grief were do we get them from, Frank.
I have a big, slopey, nasty, ugly bank, the apple of my eye you can tell, and I'm going to put them in there with bone meal and yummies. The sun can shine on them all day and I'll hit them with some foliar feed if the get any folies! I'll even mark them with a stick so I don't prong them like pickles when I'm putting in the shrubs allocated for aforementioned stinky bank. The Amalanchiers I was talking about the other day are going there too.
How does that sound?
I'll even take a pic so you can see the "view" from my sunroom before and after.
Not to worry "J" I was brought up with horses my Son still has them on the farm. Lazy Mares need a little gentling then a kick with the Spurs, the ones with the sharpened rowels attached.
Don't worry we all do it says he who found a bag of Tulips a year later, mind I was in hospital getting lumps cut off, no excuse really, feeling a bit under should get you out there enjoying the fresh air, very fresh here in the NE.
I would tell the young recruits (lack of knowledge I can forgive, idleness never) they got the message.
Disgusting behaviour! I meant, it obviously wasn't me who left twelve bare root shrubs in the garage for weeks on end... no, I wouldn't do that. Not ever. (Ahem).

My dad always said "gointa doesn't get it done" when I was a teen.

You're a disgrace!
'Stinky bank'......
Awesome. I think I love you
No touching
