quote [ one of its plants has reportedly been resurrected by a team of scientists who tapped a treasure trove of fruits and seeds, buried some 30,000 years ago by ground squirrels and preserved in the permafrost.

30 years ago my aunt planted a particular species of dwarf crocus all over her front yard. The squirrels would dig them up, then bury them somewhere else. Now, every Spring, her entire neighborhood is full of dwarf crocuses. She's been dead a few years, now, but I suspect that her old neighborhood will bloom every Spring for a long, long time.
