BULB PLANTS

[Leviladysf]

I’m in 10b and bought COSTCO lily bulbs in February. I put the bag in basement dark & dry. I pulled them out to plant today (April 28th) because I procrastinated. They had sprouted with 6 to 8 inch shoots (anemic white because no light). Bulbs were packed in bag upside down so shoots came around bulb to go upright. I had 3 choices. 1. Plant the bulb correctly burying the shoot in the ground or 2 plant the bulb upside down to allow the shoot to be above ground or 3 cut the shoot, plant bulb correctly and hope a new shoot would emerge. I chose option 2 but what would you do?
