spring bulb planting

I have 2000 bulbs that were not able to get into the ground last fall. I NEED to get blooms on them for spring, they have been in a cool place. If I get them in the ground soon, do you think that I will still get blooms? Here is a list of my varieties:
Allium var. Purple Sensation
Allium var. Gladiator
Muscari armeniacum
Scilla Siberica
Tulips
-Abba
-Red Parrot
-Yellow Calgary
-Monte Carlo

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Doug says it depends. Are they hard or are they soft? If hard and firm - no rot - then plant and pray. If soft - toss away.

In any case, there's no way I can say they're alive without seeing them - and no way I can tell you if/when they'll bloom from a spring planting in Indiana after the winter is over and frost is out of the ground.

If you NEED to get blooms - plan on visiting a florist.
