I love this lily - along with the Pardalinum lily, it is my favorite! I didn't know they are hard to get to bloom, I have 30-40 of them, started from one brought from Hawaii by my son many years ago, and since then - lots and lots every year! I am in Minnesota by the way, and bring them in in the fall!
