Cool!

My 'Pagoda' does well too, but I've had similar luck with the other 
Erythroniums -- they just put up foliage.

My Mom (who waters a lot more than me) gets blooms and the woods nearby
that flood in the spring are also blanketed with flowers, so I'm guessing
that they need more moisture than I provide.

Gene, you're the shade expert!  What do you think?
