Forced (??) White Flower Bulbs - advice please

I got several dozen White Flower bulbs from two arrangements my daughter had in NYC.
She was going to throw them out - they had already bloomed and their blossoms were fading.

The faded flower did not look like paper whites, those are the only white bulb I know.
She did say they had a very strong fragrance when in bloom so maybe hyacinth but they were over 12" tall.

I brought them back to NC. Can these be "saved" as in keep alive to bloom for me someday??
If so what do I do with them now??

Take all the dirt off them and put them somewhere (like your garage) where they can stay dry, not freeze, and not get eaten by rodents. If they are still firm after a few weeks, plant them into pots (don't water) and leave them in the garage until danger of frost has passed. Then plant outside. Once they've bloomed you can decide what they are and replant deeper if necessary.
