Will lilies dug now survive?

McGregor, IA(Zone 4b)

I had to move some lilies that are still in bloom; most still have the foliage intact. If I just pop them back into the ground in another spot will they survive? What about the separated little bulbs? Do chipmunks eat lily bulbs? I saw one in the lily bed this morning munching away on something...

I moved a couple today. Big shovelful and into big pot. Don;t think they even knew they were moved.

Yep, if they still had a big ol' clod of soil with them they should be just fine. You should probably pot up the babies if you want to save them (I'm assuming they came loose) and yes, unfortunately, those little critters love lily bulbs.
