Bill, I don't have much to add beyond Ken Hixson's usefully specific
information on temp. requirements for the western American lilies. I may
have gotten lucky with this as well, as we've had an unusually high
accumulation of chill hours this year (831 hrs. to date; avg. appears to
be 400-500). Nov.-Feb. diurnal temp. variation averaged 19 degrees F. I
don't know how well you can approximate that in Victoria. Our "first
storm" was October 10, second storm Nov. 10.
I imagine that many but not all wild populations are under snow cover
for most of the winter.
One thing I forgot to mention: L. bolanderi appeared within a few days
of some L. pardalinum that I also stratified in vain last spring, and
put out for the first storm.
Good Luck!
