Default Saffron crocus

I would like to plant these, but I cannot find any in the catalogs
right now. Does anyone have a large stand of them and if so would you
be willing to trade plants for the corms? I imagine this would be
done in the fall. I'm planning ahead.

Here's a good site about the cultivation and harvest and also links where
you can get the corms.
