Ask and you shall receive.  I have so many dormant bulbs. Dozen per serving plus pups. A flowering form of European origin, but many hybridised with the English Bluebell which is very hard to maintain in its pure form when there are Spanish ones about. However, despite not having the rumoured sweet scent of their slim English counterparts, these bulbs can handle tougher grass and naturalise well. Very hardy. Do not plant in your special bulb garden as I did 25 years ago.  Every year I dig out  hundreds and replant in my woodland to great effect there. Right plant, right place again. My hungry sheep eat them, if you want to graze while bulbs are up and about, use Narcissus or Colchicums. I have small patches under and in amongst perennials and they handle this with style. Only available when dormant, unless I have a few potted up. Price per 10 large bulbs dormant or per 9cm potfall. Note the subtle variety of forms depending on their parents.  Lucky dip with the genetics.
