Late last year I went and collected several native lilies in my area. I planted them on 11-7-2014 in baggies, peat moss. L. kelloggii from Kneeland, Calif. Today, I opened the baggies and transplanted them in larger containers. I get plastic shoe boxes or now I get tubs that are made of plastic that I can reuse, drill holes and plant about 1/4 with soil (mostly seed starter). Cut the bottom of the bag and carefully move some of them around. I then add more seed starter on top and lightly water. Even tho you read that some of the natives don't like watering, I found if you don't they just die. I water lightly once or twice a month on the dry species natives.
I should mention that after I bag the seeds, I place them outside in an area that gets about 4-1/2 hours of sunlight.
Here is a photo of the tubs I get at the Dollar Store - Soft plastic that holds up outside in the sun.
