Ursula, I just stumbled onto this Dutch-Chilean bulb company
http://www.sbchile.cl/index.ph... that claims to have "a subsidiary company which attends the local sales and sales in all other South American countries":
http://www.sbtrading.cl/#Conta.... I assume this is just wholesale for cut flowers and not retail, but it seems that at least some Chilean bulbs finds their way back to Chilean soil? Although perhaps just to be exported yet again as a cut flower...
