There is supposed to be a nursery near San Diego that carries the giant squill at better prices.. the ones I got were 25.00 ea and now I saw one for sale for 50.00 a piece, can you believe that? They quit selling the bulbs near Oct, I got lucky and was able to get in the last order there. I don't know when they start to sell them again, "easy to grow bulbs" I think the place was called here in CA, will recheck.

Yes, Spring, Spring, Spring, that is the best time here, now summer is another story, too hot in the desert here. July, Aug, and Sept. are over 100 degrees every day. Then we get some nice fall weather.. I love it. Also December BBQ for Christmas is not bad either..lol, our frost nights start in Jan, Feb, March, they are very few but they do lots of leaf damage or just plain damage the whole flowers (all the Aloes that had budding and starting to try to bloom froze), not the plant itself, but the stalks with buds. So now I have to wait for next year, but I have a plan. Next year they will have a blanket at night during the Frost nights.
