Dear Andrew, I saw your query on trillium on PBS. I am very shy about responding to the website. Years ago, I tried to grow an Erythronium in Sacramento, CA. It perished. In Gresham, OR I have germinated and colonized several Erythronium and 3 species of Trillium. My guess is they won't thrive in souther CA unless you can give them specialized care. With your long experience (I know you have been a grower for a long time) you might be able to succeed. I hope you do for they are very lovely.

Is it possible to grow them in this climate (Zone 10 and very dry)? They seem to occur at altitude in the eastern mountains where the climatic conditions are quite different. The Wiki tells much about raising them from seed but not about growing them on afterwards.
