Seeds of various bulbs and other plants stored in this dry climate (Los
Angeles) can lose their viability quickly without COLD. Simple
refrigeration in paper envelopes without any other special treatment will
extend the life of many seeds by years.
It is depressing to think of the many fine plants (seeds) I've seen stored
in an office drawer or cabinet become lifeless after a few years or even
months.

This in a very dry climate, leo. It is evident the key to success with
storing most bulbs seed is dryness.
I store it in the paper packet in a box in my office where it is quite
warm all summer.
Then I plant it in the fall. Have had good germination so far. I have
had some sprout
after at least 4 years' storage under these conditions.
