Same case here bro, i think you should probably plant them...they are not dead just shrivled..I'll plant all the imported items except seeds this weekend.

Just for info i planted Coral drop bulbs few days back, after chilling them for a week. They have not sprouted yet but when i dug up one bulb it was rooting which is good enough sign that it would be coming up real soon.

My last years saved freesias are also sprouting...Maybe time has come to plant all the bulbs ??

My freesia starting to sprout in fridge. Rather they had almost 3 inches growth (whitish), i planted them couple of days back and now the whitish growth is turning green and small bulbs which did not have any growth are also sprouting.

Freesias don't need chilling in the fridge, no South African bulbs like sparaxis, babiana and ixias need chilling. i will plant all the bulbs this weekend...fingers crossed

I did not specifically place them for chilling. I had to go away for a week and room was ought to get hot so I placed all seeds and stuff in fridge
