Ornithogalum fimbrimarginatum seed

I started seed from Cal Hort in early October 2017 outside, no special
treatment, but when it would have probably gotten a fluctuation in
temperature during the day since that is often our warmest time of the
year in Northern California when there is little fog. It came up in a
couple of weeks and flowered this year. The seed wouldn't have been
fresh since it would have been offered late winter and I didn't try it
until the next year at a time I thought it would grow. It stayed green
for a long time so I continued to water it. If plants range from the
Gifberg in the western Cape to the Eastern Cape they would be growing in
a lot of different situations so perhaps the origin of the original
bulbs might make a difference in when to start seed.

I have a few grams of this small seed but have little luck getting it
to germinate. I send some seed to a recent BX and feel bad about my
inability to grow a plant from seed so I'm reluctant to offer it
again. Has anyone had experience with this plant and if so how did
you get it to germinate. I've tried potting it with a light sand
cover and the flotation method with no success. There is little
information on the web. I think it was ISI'd as 2013-27. My plant
came from the Huntington in 2018.
