I grow Bloomeria crocea, and love it. It gets a little water in the summer and like Triteleia laxa and T. ixoides, has been blooming for weeks and weeks. Astonishing! I've never seen them do so well, so I have to assume they love full sun, warm, and light watering every day now that they live in Coquille away from those cool marine temperatures right on the coast . Mine are still in pots but will go in the ground. I have quite a few bulbs in this group now, so when they go dormant, I'll try to send some to the exchange. When planting, stick them where their icky brown dead leaves are hidden a bit. Mine have bloomed reliably and need very little care. A most worthwhile bulb for the rock garden or front of border. I'd agree with the time it takes to flower from seed as I don't try to push them along. Too many other things to do!!
