"Ye of little faith . . ." Here are a couple of sources, though the second one of stock. But you can check with them again in the late spring - early summer, when they usually advertise them. I don't know if the first one still have them in stock, but they did not say they were. Perhaps, you can contact them to be on their mailing list. The others I found, including my previous sources, were so expensive that I did not list them. One of them was actually asking $8.95 per bulb!

Crocus Sativus (Saffron Crocus) - 162710

Saffron Crocus - Van Bourgondien

Enjoy!

P.S. Years and years ago, I used to buy bulbs, cheese and wine from Van Bourgondien, and was very pleased with the quality of their products.
