    If the bulbs are still firm they will be fine, they will just flower later than normal

    And if you don't plant them they will be dead by next year :(

    If you don't think they will come to much (because the bulbs have shrunk, for example) then perhaps put them in a spot where they won't be too noticeable, and then let them flower for a year or two until they bulk up a bit.
