Hi Randall, You have some of these Lachenalia growing out of doors in Seattle? I don't see an entry for L. bifolia in the wiki. Does it also go by another name? Actually, Enumclaw is on the west side of the mountains, about an hour (with no traffic, but when is that ever the case anymore?) or so southeast of Seattle. Definitely colder than Seattle though.
