Thank you, Alberto, You are a wealth of information, as always. While examining the RF bulbs I remember wondering if they were stoloniferous. Many have what appears to be stem protrusions from the bottom of the bulbs that look as though they have been recently cut. If nothing else, perhaps this indicates the bulbs are nice and fresh. These are selling in the perforated plastic bags at Armstrong's and Roger's Garden's (for any members wanting some) at 10 for $3.99. I only have one other price comp - a nursery in OR is selling the RF for 10 for $6. Cathy Craig San Clemente CA Zone 9b President: Pacific Bulb Society
