Default Looking for hyacinth

Every year it's the same thing - the local nurseries don't get water
hyacinth until June at the earliest.

This winter I tried keeping some in the basement under a grow light
next to a window. It lasted about 2 months but died when the wife made
me move it away from the window so her parents could play ping pong.

So anyway, would anybody down in Florida be able to throw a few plants
into a bag, then box it and send it to Atlanta? I'd pay shipping...

TIA
Mike

eBay has quite a few. Out here in So. Cal, they are just now showing up
at nurseries.
