They are particular as opposed to difficult. On other words, if you get the conditions right, they will grow pretty darned well. I saw rows of Calochortus growing vigorously in Bob Werra's garden in Ukiah, CA. But he had them on a south-facing slope that had been cleared of weeds and protected from deer. >>How often do native species show up in the BX? Almost all the things we trade are species that are native to somewhere ;-) But I assume you mean California native species, and it depends on the species. There are usually a few Calochortus species each year, plus a larger number of Brodiaea/Allium/Bloomeria, etc. Usually seeds as opposed to bulbs. Mike San Jose, CA
