Erythronium in warmer climates?

Hello Jane, Cody, Kipp and everyone else,
First of all, thank you so much for your answers. You have confirmed a few hypotheses I had, like rather growing them in part shade would be better in Mediterranean climate or that they need sufficient moisture in winter and spring in order to thrive.
My dear friend lives in Northern Israel, which has Mediteranian climate. He wants a few of them actually, but especially these 1. https://… 2. https://nijssentuin.nl/nl/erythronium/…
From what you have written, I guess these two would be worth to try in his area?
Again, thank you so much.

 This question can't be answered until we know which species (or hybrid) 
of Erythronium Vlad is asking about. Some species are western North 
American, some are European, some east Asian, and some eastern North 
American. Each group has its own cultural and climate preferences. Even 
among the western Americans, there are easy ones (E. tuolumnense) and 
very demanding ones (E. montanum).

If Vlad's friend just wants to grow the commercially available hybrids 
such as 'Pagoda' and 'Citronella', they are quite easy to grow in 
summer-dry situations. They are robust plants which increase very fast, 
thanks to their E. tuolumnense ancestry. In a hot climate, they should 
be grown in a shady situation.
