You're going to have a great bunch of seed after this year though!!
I like your math! Yeah they are super nice bulbs, some of the best looking I've seen.

Edit: just got 200 + more cloves in then the 30mph winds kicked in, kinda makes it hard laying landscape fabric and mulching. I got 3 of the 4 Filaree Farms varieties in and here's an interesting observation:
Montana Zemo 33 cloves per pound
Idaho Silver 117 cloves per pound (plantable) + 15 or so too small
Chesnok Red 75 cloves per pound
