Dear Fran
I think that I am the biggest supplier of Ambrosinia bassi of the world
and the most cheap too !!
Some months ago I have distributed free to the friends of the Bulb List
50 tubers (flowering size), hundreds of little tubers and many seeds.
Sorry that you have not seen my offer.
Next year I will have some also for you (I hope).
What about your Biarums? Species? How do they grow by you ? Have you
seeds or little tubers?
Fausto
