bulbs from Costco

The garden centres here have had large bins of "King Alfred" for sale
for a week or so, but they are from our local fields. The bulbs
might be any of about a half dozen cultivars, but everyone knows the
name "King Alfred" so they use it. These are extras from the
cutflower fields which get dug up during the summer, the bulbs
sorted, some replanted in fallow fields, and the extras sold at low
prices.
