See my comments in 2007 http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/old.php/… and the photos on the pbs wiki. I only kept a few of these as it was mainly an exercise in propagation, and they have been rather neglected, but some of these bulbs are ~1" diameter now. You need something substantial and rigid enough to survive as leaf sections, although galanthus can supposedly be increased this way, but I have never tried. The longer the growing season you can get with the bulblets the better.
