The recent discussion about the Home Depot urginea has me wondering if they might be the cheapest bulb in the world, in terms of dollars per kilogram (or pound)? Are the 'narcissus for naturalizing' cheaper? What about 'alliums for eating'? Tubers/rhizomes excluded--potatoes, turnips, etc don't count... Slightly off topic, is it possible that Cynthia's blue urginea might be Scilla natalensis (Merwilla plumbaea)? These bulbs can certainly get to a similar size, and have nice blue flowers. --Roy NW of Boston Where lots of cheap cyclamen are blooming (never paid more than ten cents for a seed), and where Scilla natalensis (free seeds) will probably never bloom...
