I've put bulbs on hold for a couple weeks just by keeping them nice and dry out of the sun like I would if they are being stored for longer term.

Thank you beesneeds. It is quite warm now, even in the house (77 degrees). Maybe I should bring them down to the basement where it's a bit cooler. Should I cover them with anything?

OK, I'll do that Harold. I'm off to go and get a box. Thanks! (And I'll make a note in my calendar to remember to replant them!)

You can replant them as soon as you are ready. Don't have to wait until the fall. In fact, it is even better to plant them in the late summer (August).

I ended up planting the largest of the bulbs in soil in late summer. The very small ones I ended up planting into a pot. I overwintered the pot and the small ones grew. They didn't bloom though, and I didn't have the expectation that they would. Now I think I will dismantle the pot as the foliage has now died and put the bulbs once again in my basement in a box. I hope to replant them directly into soil later this summer. Perhaps one day they will grow big enough to bloom!

Unless you need the pot for something else you can leave the bulbs in it.
