Brunsvigia grandiflora/Sources

I ordered seeds from the BX in 2000 for $2 of Brunsvigia grandiflora. In
2007 they bloomed and they bloomed again this year. I ended up with 9 seeds
germinating from that first BX. Rhoda and Cameron McMaster donated seeds in
2003 to the PBS list (everyone, not just the members of Pacific Bulb
Society). Again the price was $2 per packet. We are really fortunate to
have generous people in our group who donate some real gems to the BX.
Those three year old Brunsvigias may not even be blooming size. I imagine
there are a number of very reliable sources in the US that are much cheaper
for Brunsvigias than eBay including some members of our list like Diana
Chapman (Telos) and Dylan Hannon.

I was a little shocked to see a three year "Rare Brunsvigia grandiflora -
Stunning Candelabra Lily"? sell for $71.00 on eBay today.?
