Bulbs: Have 'Little Princess' species tulips, would like to trade, 1 by critterologist

I ordered some species tulips last fall, and when they bloomed I discovered they had been misidentified and are actually 'Little Princess'. The orange flowers are just completely wrong for my bed, so the supplier is replacing them but didn't want them returned. I have about 40 bulbs that I dug after they had finished blooming. I waited to dig until the foliage died back, and I waited just a few days too long, so I know I didn't get them all... I'll have more early next summer!

I'd like to trade for other species tulips such as saxitilus or waterlily tulips or for miniature yellow daffodils. I'd also swap them for a mess of grape hyacinth bulbs, as I could use some around my daff bed in back.

Or... make me an offer! Except for daffs, I'm generally more fond of purple / maroon / magenta / pink flowers, and I'm not really interested in gold / peach / coral / orange. My yard has mostly full sun.

Here's a picture. They are said to be good naturalizers, even in southern gardens. Mine certainly did multiply... I found 3 or 4 bulbs in spots where I had planted 1! (That's why I'm really sure that there are lots more that will pop up in spring... I planted 60 and dug 60 up, but there are probably another 100 still in there!).
