Default My Tulip Bulbs - storage, when to plant

Hi everyone,

I just bought a couple of large bags of tulip bulbs at my local
costco. They were very reasonably priced, and they look to be very
high quality. They're packed in sawdust filled bags, and look very
nice.

I live in the arizona desert, and it's still plenty hot here. I have
been keeping the bags of bulbs in the house since i bought them, and
it's warm in here during the day - 84 degrees or so when i'm not home
and the A/C is set high.

I'm wondering, first, if it's too hot in the house to store them
properly - should they be in the fridge for a while? Is the heat going
to hurt them?

Secondly, when should I plant them? They are Triumph Tulips, in case
that matters...

Thanks for the help!
