Gagea species?

Is someone out there growing some of the more delicate species of Gagea, such as G. pusilla or G. chlorantha? I‘d love to try them, but they seem impossible to source, certainly within the EU.

"Gagea lutea," said the Hemulen proudly, "Number one in the collection. A perfect specimen."

The Hemulen has one more than me, but somebody must be growing them because seed turns up on the seed exchanges from time to time. (SRGC had fibrosa, lutea and mauritanica last time) fibrosa got an award at Westminster;

Unfortunately I lost
chlorantha
(seed from Oron Peri maybe 10 years ago) but still have some
fibrosa
&
graeca
.
Lovely plants but quite hard to source seed.

Gagea lutea grows near my place.
There’s hundreds of them on this small spot, probably the number of 100000 in the whole park is underestimated. Despite the small stature it’s really appreciated by many users of the park.

Mostly bulbs. Gardening in containers and enjoying public green.

Lots to discover.
