I didnt get all my tulips planted in Nov. What can I do now?

Frisco, TX

I planted about 75 tulip bulbs last November. I also did alot of Crocus and Iris. I have two trees out front so I did some red and some yellow on each tree in a pattern . The problem is though that I ran out of yellow before I finished. So now when the tulips start to come up the trees will be uneven with colors. I know I'm anal but thats just me. :-)

I have some extra bulbs that got mixed up so I dont know what color they are. I've kept them all in the fridge since last Novemeber hoping to plant them about now.

My question is what do I do with them now? Can I 'force' them or pot them up inside and then move outside to make my trees even? I also have some other bulbs that I didnt get planted that i'd like to do something with for this spring.

Any advice would be great..

Dilemma's, dilemma's. I have seen in some catalogs, forced tulips and daffodils. You buy them in some sort of plastic tray and they are already blooming. I'd imagine you can do the same. I have never been in that situation so I really don't know. I can't imagine it hurting the bulb.
