Camassia bulbs are not that expensive, and they are also one of the few to
tolerate wet soil... so order them from the catalogs and plant dozens this
fall, like I am going to do (again). This is one of my favorite bulbs, and
I especially love the one with variegated foliage, although it seems not to
be very vigorous.

Expensive is a relative word. :)

Errr... my words: "not THAT expensive"
(emphasis added)
You're right, ofcourse, they're a lot more than some other bulbs. And
cheaper than others!
They have a wide range in price: the ones I have (Camassia quamash) are the
cheapest. B&B's have them 25 for $7. OTOH, 'Blue Danube' is 25 for $50.
