Moving towns, bring bulbs? Read details please!

Hello, I am in zone 4, borderline 5, and I am moving from one apartment to another, an hour and a half away, same state, same zone.

I read the FAQ but I didn't find my question there.

I currently have bulbs planted outdoors, planted straight in the soil by the apartment. 6 day-lilies, 8 gladiolas, 2 hyacinths, 1 amaryllis... I know, it doesn't match at all, LOL, that's because those are bulbs that I received as grocery store gifts throughout the years :P

I hold on to those grocery store bulbs because I don't have a lot of money to spend on them myself.

In the new apartment, there won't be a deck, balcony, or lawn, so the bulbs would have to be houseplants!

Anyway, it's May now, and I will be moving in July 1st.

Those plants are about 2 feet tall now, they don't look ready to bloom anytime soon.

I hadn't stored them away before, because we didn't know we were moving!

* Question 1: So, should I bring the bulbs with me?

* Question 2: I have been trying to find resources about growing bulbs indoors, but I have only been able to find info about FORCING bulbs! Arrgggh! :-(

So, if you do grow bulbs indoors, what's your setup / can you give me some links?

Yes... I'm a gardening newbie...!
