early Erythronium helenae flowers

Kathleen, are your Erythronium helenae in a cool greenhouse or frame, or in any other way enabled to get a head start? For me the first to bloom anywhere are E. multiscapideum in both cool greenhouse and cold frame. E. helenae have not yet emerged in any situation and I am north of you.

Checking my seedling pots today, I was surprised to find a small pot of Erythronium helenae, grown from seeds offered in BX 218, with both foliage and flower buds coming on. The buds are already more than 1 cm long.
This seems very early to me, but it's a new species in my garden. Can others comment on the timing of flowering for this species?
