Frank Callahan's article on Calochortus tends to exaggerate the difficulty
of growing these plants. Frank grows them outdoors in southern Oregon, a
very good climate for many American bulbs but perhaps a bit cold for some
of the more southerly species. I've found that many of his "difficult"
rated species are not much of a problem in my bulb frames, so perhaps a
little help with the climate tips the balance -- as Mary Sue mentioned, she
covers the area where this plant grows.
Calochortus plummerae is just finishing up here and there is one more to
flower -- I think a form of C. vestae.
