Fritillaria striata propagation

There is a great reference for California flora. I'm including the link
for Fritillaria striata which lists it as flowering February-April.

Jane is the expert on growing Fritillaria and I'm sure she will respond.
I looked at my data base as I've tried multiple times to start many
California species from seed. I noted that I started different species
from Oct-January and often got germination regardless of the time, but
surprisingly couldn't see a pattern for how long it took depending on
when I started it, from one (rarely) to many months. I have grown them
to flowering but eventually they have all disappeared. And it may be
that mine were too dry in summer in the mix they were growing in. One
rare plant once growing where I live, but not seen for years and
probably gone I started from seed numerous times and found that the seed
of it was viable for many years (not short lived at all). All the plants
I grew from it were eventually transplanted to locations where they were
expected to grow, but didn't. Fritillaria striata is a very attractive
species. I hope people have luck with it.
