I can give you personal experience. I live in las vegas, nv. Many areas in the west part of town have vacant untouched lots. 2 years ago I found one that had calochortus flexuosus, muilla coronata and dicholestemma. I had salvaged calochortus before in colorado off some of my property. Around here in las vegas its easier. I marked 65 bulbs with orange tent stakes and gps the locations. After the plants flowered and seeded around 4th of July the bulbs were dormant and I salvaged the bulbs. In Nevada if it is private property you only need owner permission for plants. I put them in a large ziploc bag with some soil I just dug up. I kept them out of the light and trief to keep them cool and damp since it was 117°F. Driving a block away to my house I planted 20 calochortus in my yard. Mailed 10 to my father in Colorado and planted 12 in bulb pan ceramic pots. I used premier promix with lots of pumice for drainage. This year ive only seen 11 come up in the pot and I only counted 16 in my yard but I couldn't remember where they were all planted. I learned when digging them up they are only 3 inches below the surface. So I planted my bulbs 2 inches. I know they will move themselves deeper like seed grown plants. If you are growing Calochortus striatus, which im thinking. Ive grown from seed 3 times they come up easy from seed. 45 days of 37°F and then 15 days of 85°F and once up, place on dry enviroment. Water only once dry and 2 years to bloom.
