Can you ID these bulbs without any growth?

Archer/Bronson, FL(Zone 8b)

I found these in a discarded broken pot outside an apartment building. I suspect they might be those kinds of plants that are force bloomed to sell in the spring markets, but not necessarily a Florida flower. The blooms die back and the plant owner decides they are dead and throw them away.

They are in the fridge right now. I am hoping I can plant them out and get them to grow, but what are they?

I force tulips every winter in containers in an extra refrigerator, after their presentation, I discard them. They usually split and as such won't be blooming material the following year.

You can plant them in the ground in the fall. They will grow next spring.

Thanks for your help. No harm in trying, fer sure and I don't keep butter in that butter keeper anyway.
