I know most of us get these as heirloom passalongs but if any of you have bought any of these recently, where from? I bought mine from Old House Gardens but paid like $50 for 4 bulbs. They insist the byzantine glads offered cheaply everywhere else are a different subspecies that's a lighter, less brilliant color and not the traditional heirloom. Just the best the Dutch can make cheaply. I recently got a new Brecks catalog and their picture of what they are selling looks exactly like what I have but they do make a point of not identifying the bulbs down to the same taxonomic level as Old House Gardens. But they are so much cheaper...
