I'm looking for a reliable supplier of true English bluebell bulbs,
free from hispanic contamination. A search on the net brings up
several UK suppliers, but some of the associated pictures look
decidedly hybrid, which raises doubts in my mind. If they don't know
the difference between hybrids and true English bluebells well enough
to get the right picture, how reliable are their bulbs?
Does anyone know a reliable supplier of true English bluebell bulbs?
