timing for calochortus bulbils

I often go to Oregon and northern California in the spring,
photographing wildflowers, and sometimes collecting seeds.

I have seen only two species of calochortus, as they flower later
than I usually go.

I've been reading Mary Gerritsen's calochortus book and find that some
of the species produce bulbils. It would be exciting to find a
particularly pleasing flower and be able to collect a bulbil from it.
However, the book does not give precise information about this.

When are bulbils developed enough to be viable?
