Today in a garden centre I saw pots of 'Galanthus nivalis' which were plainly a mixture of at least 3 species. Is it likely these are harvested from the wild or farmed? Anyone any inside knowledge?

Wild most likely sent to shipping agents and I would guess nivalis, woronowii and elwesii. Once in Holland for 3 months they're Dutch - allegedly
