I don't know if it helps but Jacques Amand in Stanmore are doing 100
for £9.95; that's dearer than the others quoted but I've been
acquiring bulbs for the past 3 years from them and they are good
quality and have made my garden a picture this spring. I'd forgotten
I planted so many! I don't know if they do mail order but it might be
worth phoning them
