I've got these 3 old bulbs that have been sitting in dry soil for around 7 years now and I need some good advice on how to get them to germinate. Although the effort may be in vein they once belonged to a late relative so I'm gonna do what I can.

I've heard some bulbs need to experience a cold period before they'll take off again so about a week ago I moved them into the garage where they've been between 15 and 35F. Again I know it's probably hopeless but what should I do from here on out to give these guys the best chance of sprouting?

If it's not already apparent I'm a complete novice at this and can use any advice you could offer.

Thanks, I'm all ears
 
Sorry Big, they are completely dried out and therefore dead......7 years is just too long a period for the bulbs to survive.
They look mummified!
