Spring Snowflakes

Does anyone know where I can buy Leucojum vernum, the spring snowflake? I have the taller Leucojum aestivum, the summer snowflake. I've ordered vernum a couple of times but they always send me the wrong one. I want the shorter one that looks like a pregnant snowdrop that blooms earlier. I know you buy them in the fall, just hope to get a jump start on finding a source for them. Can anyone help me?

Don't you have to buy/obtain/plant these things in Autumn?
Just curious

Yes you sure do. They are so hard to find I thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone knew where I could order them from this fall.

Lightbulb just came on. Fall- Autumn, means the same thing to me, just as long as I can find them. :-)
