An unintended, but welcome surprise.
Lilium speciosum var. gloriosoides scale bulblet.
Such a special species, but will it ever survive...
(The penny is just 1.9cm in diameter.)

It is most certainly worth a try, for such a lovely species.

Rick, how's the bulblet doing?

It is still in the fridge. I'll bring it out with my next round of stuff out of the fridge, May 1.

Ticker, you might also be interested to know that I have nine new species of Fritillaria seed that sprout this year, too.

Nine new species?? Your creations??

Oh no, just new to me. I already have few that I started in previous years. Some might even bloom next season. These are the ones, with a few others that germinated along with them. All germinated at 40F. Sow dates accompany, and it's clear that keeping pots for more than just one season pays off.
