In its native area (desert) it grows in pure sand and very deep (I once dug
down almost 3 ft and still was only seeing stem.)

I have heard for many years that these bulbs grow deep, but decided to check
on a bulb outside the park this spring, carefully digging with my fingers
and found that it was only 6"/15cm deep.

Borrego Springs should have weather/climate data somewhere online. I am
sure the humidity is generally very low there.
