Here are some photos of C. leichtlinii blooming now in my garden, including one white one for good measure. I also have a pink form of this species, not currently in bloom. Judy, you are in New Jersey, correct? It’s surprising to me that camas species from the (semi)arid west even survive in that climate, much less do so for over a decade. So perhaps that might help explain the lack of multiplying? There are also some species from East of the Rockies that I’m not familiar with: C. angustata and C. scilloides.
