I dug up some bulb plants to replant in my yard. I keep thew bulbs/roots wet until I relannted them in my yard. They have turned droopy and have turned greenish brown. Will they grow like that?

Plant them and see. You kept them wet and now they have turned green/brown and are droopy. could have rotted them, do they feel squishy or rigid? Bulbs like to be stored dry, then planted.
Reply:If this was recently that you dug them up, and you didn't keep them wet all winter, they should recover. Most plants wilt a bit when they have been transplanted. If you happened to move them to a spot with bad soil (too acid or alkaline) or with the wrong sunlight requirements, they may not recover. You should look up the requirements for your variety of bulbs.
Reply:If they are still hard, they will grow next year if they are spring flowers and this year in summer if they are summer flowers.
Reply:I thought you were supposed to dry them when they were out? All of the bulbs I have ever purchased have been brown, hard, and dry.
