Sorry, can't help with Greek stockists, but just thought it might be of
general  interest to point out the genus Narcissus occurs naturally
mostly near the West end of the Med., with a centre of diversity in
Spain extending north into France and even Britain, and south into North
Africa (where most of the delightful hoop petticoat species originate).
The more northern species are not surprisingly pretty hardy, but many of
the African ones are a trifle frost-tender.
