I have to say that I have never heard of Brodiaea being referred to as California Blue Bells. That name has always been applied to Phacelia.
Very strange.
Broadiaea laxa is now Triteliaea laxa and the usual version is properly T.l. Koningin Fabiola. Not that the name matters. They are very easy to grow and if they like your garden then they will clump up nicely and if allowed will sefl seed around. AND, if you are really lucky you will get some variation in colour over time. Full sun, well drained reasonbly good soil is what they like.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and advise. I will be putting these in the garden this weekend now, just hope after all this that they grow and flower. Thank you again
