Well, the site went down for a while and I totally panicked! So I amended the soil, and replanted them as they were. I did try to gently separate them first, and they seemed pretty resistant, so I planted them as they were and left the stems on. I hope they'll be okay. If they come up in the spring like they did this last spring, there'll be several stalks per bulb and I'll have lots of flowers.
I did leave the stem roots on, but planted the tops of the roots at the soil line. I do hope they'll be okay. I didn't want to leave them out for long.
You are right Connie, no bulblets, but then, I didn't loosen the dirt.
Thank you both for your advice. Let me ask for next year, do they always have those stem roots? Or were they there because I dug them up too early?
