I don't consider this planting at the right depth, in the right orientation, or with the right fertilizer, but sure enough, next spring they bloomed beautifully. You can also move bulbs at the wrong time. Everyone misses bulbs when they dig them up in the fall. The next spring, I wait until they've bloomed and then move the plant before it dies back. Inevitably, they manage to transplant fine.
Bulbs also like to be fertilized in the fall.
I do this by mulching with a layer of shredded leaves. The worms break down the leaves over the summer and make worm casings to feed my bulbs. If I think about it, I'll put some bone meal under the leaves to provide phosphorus. But if I forget, I don't worry about it. So, don't worry.
