Where is my mom now that I need her

So as I came into work today, I noticed a whole plethora of potted plants scattered around one of the fireplaces. I didn't know what they were doing there, but one of my coworkers said that we could take them home. 

Upon further inspection, most of the plants over there were mostly dead, and for some, completely dead. 

You know, I had just thought to myself earlier today that I ought to replant my garden as soon as the weather gets better, but this is a little ridiculous. My biggest problem is I don't know if I will be able to save any of these plants. They are all in pretty bad shape. If my mom was here she'd have more of an idea on where to start and how to get them to perk back up, but I don't know anything about gardening! I can barely keep a Christmas tree alive when I have one! 

Now, there is the option to not get any plants, to which I say, ARE YOU CRAZY!?! They are free!!! Hopefully I'll be able to revive thre ones I do take, but I have yet to get to that point. As soon as I'm home, I get to come right back with my car and load up whatever is left. 

I call dibs on at least the daffodils.
