I'd say stick'em nboth in the dirt and wait and see, unless you're on limited space.

I don't have a space problem, so I take anything and dig up anything

lol well the one right now is getting the leaves on it (the one in the pot) the other one i dont know if it will grow its all dried up... But i have like 19 of them! like it my great grandma sent them to me, no im not on limited space im on rented space, we dont own the huse and i dont want to plant everything then have to dig them up in a couple months (i could always give them to my other grandma though she lives here in florida) idk... Im sure there both the same, because when she dug em all up they were all close to eatcother.... but she cant remember she said she had either had tulips where she found em or bearded iris....

I think you might be a bit too warm for tulips in the ground...maybe they're calla lily divisions? When I planted my calla corm it looked like what you have

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

tulips will leaf out in the south, they just won't bloom.
