I believe this lily is highly endangered in it's native Californian habitat.
I planted some out last year- after handling all those oriental bulbs, it's weird to see the stoloniferous ones produced by these turks cap types! They get half day shade in an underplanting situation and seem to be happy enough, though some say this is a temperamental beast. They flower from a very small size which is great!
Just fabulous once they're established and monstrous, with huge candelabras of bicoloured, spotted blooms, and freely offsetting too.
If you can get hold of it, give it a try. Lily societies often have them for sale.
