    Typically, you do not need to water them after they are planted, but since you are in Arizona, it probably would not hurt. I would recommend just one good deep soaking. If using a hose, keep the water over the area for a few minutes. If using a sprinkler, let it run 10-15 minutes over the are.

    After the initial watering, they should be fine and will be able to get the water they need from the ground.

    If the ground is not frozen yet, you can still just plant them directly into the ground. You can plant them in pots as well, but the pots need to be placed in a sheltered location, such as in an unheated garage or against the foundation of a house. And, if you put them in pots, you should not replant them until after they have flowered, or they will not flower this spring.

    Most of your spring flowers, especially bulbs, are considered hardy and accustomed to these conditions. Although they sometimes pop up early under mild winter conditions, there's usually no need to worry if temps drop again. However, if the temperature drops and it makes you feel more at ease, you can cover them with a blanket at night but remove it during the day.

    It is very possible that they are simply going through the natural dormancy process.

    You could go ahead and plant them now, but keep in mind that they probably won't bloom. You can also store your bulbs until next season, though depending on where you are located, this may vary somewhat between bulbs.
