Moving surprise lilies late March while green

I have to move my surprise lilies in Kansas now-late March 2009, due to dirt work. I plan to replant the same or next day.They are already green. Will this kill them?
Doug says if you're careful, don't wreck the roots and replant at same depth they likely won't die. They won't be happy but they won't die. Blooming? Anybody's guess - depends on how unhappy they get. :-) But if you have to move 'em, you have to move 'em.
