List of seed and bulb vendors

I have deliberately left the other posts below to add meaning.
Border Gateway Bulbs still operates but no longer as that entity. They now
appear to sell exclusively via Ebay.
While some vendors continue to offer lists etcetera it may be that Ebay will
become another major model for collectors/vendors of rarer bulbs. It allows
the true value of individual plants to be established. Businesses do not
survive by swapping!
I suspect this is one of the reasons that specialist businesses being taken
over by larger organisations may fail, there is the loss of knowledge but
also a need to investigate alternative models.

Thanks, Alan!
Just a reminder to everyone that you can send updates like this directly
to
my personal address, so we don't clutter up the list (no worries, Alan).
I've already received about 15 messages today with nominations and
corrections. Great response!
