The girlfriends grandmother bought her some easter flowers which have now died but they were perinneals so i'm assuming that they are just hibernating or whatever, now since we are moving in a few months (Dec) I think that we should store them in a ziploc baggie or something like that instead of in the (now broken) pot. How do you store bulbs (I have no idea what kinda flowers they are, they are not roses nor tulips just pretty yellow flowers) ? i will not cry if they die (they smelled horrible) but she most likely will.

Store them in a paper bag, in a cool, dry place.
A plastic bag will promote rotting. They have to be able to "breathe". |

You can brush off most of the dirt from the bulb, wrap each one loosely in paper towel to prevent bruising, and store them in a paper box. Keep them dry, cool, and out of light.
