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.
