My son had a row of these beautiful jade green fleshy plants on the south side of his house in central California. To sell the house we installed an irrigation system and, they bloomed!!!! I took one bulb and, the next year I had 3 flowers. That was 3 years ago. This year I've picked 21 stems and there are 3 more coming!! They are planted by our "stream" and are kept very wet all year long. I don't give them any other care. Besides being a strikingly beautiful flower, they keep blooming for 7 to 12 days after being cut. Our only problems are snails and frost.
