There is a great reference for California flora. I'm including the link 
for Fritillaria striata which lists it as flowering February-April.

Jane is the expert on growing Fritillaria and I'm sure she will respond. 
I looked at my data base as I've tried multiple times to start many 
California species from seed. I noted that I started different species 
from Oct-January and often got germination regardless of the time, but 
surprisingly couldn't see a pattern for how long it took depending on 
when I started it, from one (rarely) to many months. I have grown them 
to flowering but eventually they have all disappeared. And it may be 
that mine were too dry in summer in the mix they were growing in. One 
rare plant once growing where I live, but not seen for years and 
probably gone I started from seed numerous times and found that the seed 
of it was viable for many years (not short lived at all). All the plants 
I grew from it were eventually transplanted to locations where they were 
expected to grow, but didn't. Fritillaria striata is a very attractive 
species. I hope people have luck with it.
