    Dry climate bulb native to western North America and requiring a summer baking. Bulbs of a horticultural selection have been offered at local outlets in the past. During prior years bulb frames near Lohbrunner Alpine Garden at UBC have contained flowering examples (I haven't been there lately). Other gardens where specialists are playing with them will also occur in the region.

    Otherwise you can view them in the wild near here.
