First off, they're bulbs, not corms.
Second, my suggestion is not to do this. Get them away from the moist
shavings (which at those temperatures will grow fungi that will
attack the bulbs) and plant them in a gritty soil mix in pots, and
plunge the pots in something up to the rims. These are all species
native to where Rich lives, so they won't suffer from the winter
temperatures. I have grown large numbers of these species for many
years. F. affinis and F. camschatcensis are open-garden plants in the
Pacific Northwest west of the mountains, but F. pudica benefits
greatly from overhead protection against excessive rain. F. cam.
benefits from moisture through the summer, but F. affinis can be in a
spot that dries out then.
