    It is likely due to due to cold or other stress. Being biannual, a cold spell fools the bulb into thinking it's been winter and then, when the weather turns warm, they produce a flower. You can try removing the flower and then as the stem dries, lift these bulbs; though small, they are certainly edible.
    Replanting these is not likely viable.

    We do not recommend specific places to purchase, but I could suggest looking at your local nurseries. Alternatively, you can look to online vendors on Ebay, Amazon, or Etsy.
