Hi

I bought some hyacinth bulbs from Bluestone Perennials back in November. I placed them in the fridge drawer ( no fruit in there) and left them in there a little less than 2 months. I then potted them up and now I see they are starting to peek above the soil line. I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this with bulbs in warmer zones and if my chances are good that they will bloom?

Also I had gotten some Fritillaria michaelovskyi bulbs but unfortunately when I got them they were not good. A couple of them were broken in half and some we're shriveled and did not look at all viable. Bluestone was very good about it though as they refunded me no problem. There were a few that looked ok, so I put those in the fridge as well. Sadly when I took them out of the fridge, they looked much worse. I thought they needed a chill period based on what I had read. I'm pretty positive they won't do a thing this year but I was wondering if they could possibly do something next year, or are they goners for good?

Thanks for any feedback
