Have any of you tried growing it as a winter grower? Conditions here are much more suitable for winter-growing bulbs than summer-growing bulbs. The Calochortus, Dichelostemma and other wild flowers around here grow in the winter. Also, I know people who have tried digging up bulbs in the wild and given up after 6 feet of digging through sand. (Almost 2.8 meters.) Maybe you don't have it in big enough pots?
