Wow. You're serious. I could send you some no charge as I have still
not been able to eradicate it from all my pots. However, it will be
impossible to send a *few* small bulblets. It would have to be a *lot*
of small bulblets because that's the only way they come. I also didn't
know they had a wonderful fragrance as I always snap off any bud I see
because one of its many noxious ways of spreading is through rapid
production and release of multiple seeds from any flower I happen to
miss. I also have to wait until the plant in any pot which it gets into
is dormant because the only sure way to get rid of it from a pot is to
unpot the dormant bulb (that belongs in the pot) and throw away all the
soil in the pot making sure none of it drops out anywhere on the way to
the trash can since there will probably be at least one bulblet that
escapes as well, and that is all it takes to make a new source of
trouble. I mark where one shows up during its growing season with a red
plant label on which I write 'devil'. (I'm not kidding...) For me these
are the cockroaches of the bulb world.
