16. Native seeds in the ground will often stay dormant for several seasons. They do in Texas

I would think similar in CA. Seeds in pods usually won't survive.

It happened at Mt St Helens. And it often happens in wildfire areas.

However, if these were special seeds collected, it's hard to say. I assume these may have been from endangered species. Endangered species are purposely propagated and reintroduced. However, collected seeds are often in various stages. They could be in packets, in refrigerators, in grow pots, in the ground etc etc etc.

If they were seeds in packets etc, they likely didn't survive. LeftInTX Jan 12 #12
