I have cally lily bulbs - about 80- that grew from seeds. They are the size of a pea- to a
grape.

I have 55 ornithogalum saundersaie bulbs that grew from seed and are the size of a pea up
to the size of a radish.

The mature bulbs do fine bare bulb in the basement over the 7.5 months of winter before
they can be put back outside here, but I'm wondering of these baby bulbs will dessicate if
stored that way that long.

Anyone have experience with this? I don't have a green house- so that is not an option.

Your ornithogalum are hardy to 20ºF...so bring them in before the temps drop to 30ºF. (I always allow mine to stay out until I absolutely have to bring them in...letting them grow a bit more).

The Callas are generally hardy to 30ºF, so I would bring them in now.

You can cut some small holes in a ziplock and fill it with dry peat moss...this will keep them dry and protected with ventilation and less likely to touch each other.

Here is a link I found about storage temps (from the UK)....(both ºC and ºF)

You could probably pot them early in the spring indoors for later planting....

I hope that helps...
