Diane, If those were English bluebells (Hycinthoides non-scripta), I would beg for a bucket full ( I would pay for postage). I spent a lot of money buying all that was available at the Parksville rhododendron conference last fall. They are not so easy to come by in large quantities. I am planting them in my orchard of rare fruit trees. Robert has deciduous azaleas in between my fruit trees, so he calls my "orchard" an azalea garden.
