I'm afraid that I cut all the scapes from Germidour, because I did not plan to grow it from bulbils. Arno's and Messodrome have still some scapes left. All of these softneck varieties are available here from bulb producers in Holland, so planting material is easy to get.

I do also like hardnecks more and I have some rare ones, which I am saving the bulbils from. I have tried growing bulbils earlier, but the small singles, which I got from them did not survive the winter. This spring I started Pyongyang and Lyubasha bulbils and I hope I can get those to survive the winter. I did plant also Lyubasha cloves, so from those I should get something to eat this year, but from Pyongyang I got only few bulbils, and only four of them grew to form small rounds, so those are like treasure right now.
