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. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena area, California, USDA Zone 9-10 On Jan 8, 2005, at 10:17 AM, Corey Thompson wrote: > > Hey all: > > Would anyone happen to know a source for Nothoscordum > inodorum (ssp. inodorum and/or ssp. nocturnum) or have > a few small bulblets they would be willing to sell?
