potted bulbs too cold

Hi,
I received a glass jar of daffodils-like (small ivory flowers with the leaf stalks of more than 12" long) planted in water from my neighbor, but unfortunately, the plant was left on my front porch because I was not home then.

The next morning I found it and the leaf stalks fell down instead of sticking up. I guess it may have been frozen to almost death when it left outside the whole night where the temperature was 31F.

So my questions are that:
1) Is it really dead already because of the cold temperature outside? The leaf stalks are still green, but they can't stick up themselves anymore.
2) Can I trim down the leaf stalks to 1" or 2" high and let them grow again? Will this kind of bulk re-grow after it is trimmed down?

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to your answers.

Doug says the leaf stalks are whipped. They have been frozen (straight from a greenhouse to cold temps are not good for any plant)

If you cut back the stalks, you're cutting off the flowers or flower buds and these will not regrow this season. You might want to figure out a way to stake them up if you have buds- then you can at least get the flowers.

Finally, I'd complain to the florist involved. :-)
