I don't consider the bubble has been burst by the knowledge that there are large wholesale bulb nurseries in India already. There have been for a long time. (I remember buying from Darjeeling about 50 years ago). Just think about some of the plants here in North America that are not available commercially at all, or perhaps only from one specialty nursery. I have an alphabetized book of wanted plants, and some have been on the list for many decades. I remember visiting a gardener in the U.S. who had a plant of Peony Joseph Rock. That was a plant that had a wait-list, and cost almost $200 (half a month's takehome pay for me at the time.) Some plants don't propagate easily, but a careful grower can make a modest living growing one of them. Often those of us buying plants don't realize the source is only one person. When that grower dies, those plants are not available any more. I can think of a number here in my city that used to be available and are no longer - things like double bloodroot, Shortia, Cassiope. Plants that take a long time from seed and don't make offsets are difficult to buy - think of Erythroniums. A slow-growing bulb might fit into a small vegetable garden, with food coming off the top while the bulbs increased in size below. I think slow-growing bulbs are more suited - fast-growing bulbs are probably grown in large fields already. So - find some wonderful plants that the big companies won't grow because they won't fit into their growing schedule, figure out how they can be grown on a smallholding, and set up your plan. There will need to be research and training as the plants will be tricky to grow. Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
