Arico said:No no, I've heard about 'in the green', but that's not what I mean. If for some reason dormant bulbs were still available, would they be able to grow when planted in spring? 
It's not likely that you would be able to purchase dormant bulbs in the Spring. But If you have bulbs that are dormant and they haven't dried out you can plant them. You may not get flowers until next Spring, but they should flower. I wouldn't purchase dormant bulbs at this time that have just been in storage over the winter as these might have dried out and are no longer viable.
