But if you look over enough wild ones, you will find isolated specimens that do 
multiply vegetatively.

Further: I have been reliably told that you can propagate erythroniums by 
simply breaking the bulbs into several pieces and replanting. Erythroniums are 
in the Liliaceae, so it's very similar in spirit to propagating lilies from 
scales.
