spring bulbs help

I think I may have created a disaster. I only have containers on my condo patio to garden in and because they only have so much room in them, this spring I took out my tulip/daffodil bulbs when I planted my annuals. I really cram in my bulbs to have lots of colour so i had to take them out. I completely forgot to put them in my storage locker in the basement for the summer. They have been sitting outside in a cardboard box in the corner under a table all summer! Oppsy. Do you think these bulbs are history? Or should I try to plant them, keeping in mind if they don't grow, I won't have any flowers for spring.
I can't believe I am such a scatterbrain!
Thanks!

they will probably not have any blooms, but may have some leaves. They may also be dried out. You can try soaking them in water overnight to fatten them up. I would buy new bulbs to be sure of some colour in the spring.
