Shake the dirt off them, let they dry off and store them in paper bags in a dark reasonably cool dry spot ... like a closet.

Or just bury them where they were. Daffs are hard to kill.

I'd just put them right back in. I think we usually plant daffs in the fall because that is when they are available here to plant. If I was receive some in a trade, I'd plant them anytime as soon as I received them.

i would also just stick them right back in ...

every time i dug them up myself by mistake.. if i put them right back in ... they were there in spring ...

if i dried them out.. and put them in a potato sacks in the garage... i found them years later ... lol.. too many times ..

frankly... they are planted in fall.. because they are sold in fall ... you probably could NOT find one now to buy.. if your life depended on it ... of course.. they sell them in fall.. because that is a better planting time.. but its not that imperative... IMHO ...

if you consider it from the producer side... they wanted to dig them while there was still dried greenery on them.. so they would know where to dig ... and they just dried them.. and stored them for fall sale with tulips and all the other bulbs... and.. its much easier to transport dried bulbs ... in big volumes... i am sure we have all found a rotted onion in a sack ... perhaps that onion didnt dry properly ... for storage in a big warehouse ...

either way.. i dont think its that big a deal ...
