Hi Eljay
There was certainly some offered in the 13/14 distribution but I can't find last year's list. Have checked a few earlier ones and it is offered in some years. This year's list should be available soon.
Have seen this in the wild in eastern Turkey - huge masses growing in wet meadows giving a pale blue haze - looks really great in large numbers but individual plants don't do much for me, Im afraid. The darker somewhat larger B. paradoxa is a much better plant. There will be seed of this in the exchange this year.

You might find it under its new name as Pseudomuscari forniculatum

Thank you for this Dave. I think I have also seen this in Eastern Turkey, but didn't know what it was at the time. I'm certainly interested in B.paradoxa, particularly as ive now discovered that forniculata is not on the permitted list of our Biosecurity. ( they have rules that are hard to fathom at times but having seeds confiscated is heartbreaking and I'd rather not put myself through that again! )
And thank you also Diane and Maggi for the name change info 😊
