It depends on what kind of bulbs you have. You might want to google your bulb to get advice. Some bulbs last for years and years and some like most tulips and caladium do not come up from one year to the next and do not replant well either.
I love Caladium and I re-order new bulbs each year since I do not get good results by taking them up, letting them dry for a couple of days and packing them away for the winter...and replanting the next year.
I go with the Mixed batch...$100 bulbs for about $80 and just skip the work involved.
Now as for those buttercup type bulbs, they do great even if left in the ground and dug up and separated in the spring! They are so hardy!!!
P.S. With the harsh winter we are having now, in some parts of the country we all may see a loss of plants of all kinds...weeks of freezing weather freezes the ground.
