Default Moon Lily or Devils Trumpet??

If you are talking about the all white desert planet that grows out here in
the mojave desert and I have ones just coming up, every year they regrow
from not only the old root but from seeds too and let you know, they are
deadly poison too. Do NOT let anyone eat them or lick their hands after
touching them, the only thing I've had eat them is the tiny desert snail I
get around here, otherwise nothing will touch them and at night I get a full
blooming of them in the summer heat.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

When I was younger my mother had flowers she called moon lily's, I believe
these were devils trumpet, they bloomed only once per night and had a
great delicate smell, I have some seeds that have been kept in a freezer
for a couple of years, will these seeds still be good for producing a
plant.

thanx
