Porcelain garlics - Romanian Red, Georgian Crystal, and similar are
usually quite fiery and strong.

I have not ordered any bulbs for planting in a few years, as we
re-plant the best of what we grow. I thought we might find something
wild and wonderful up in Kingston.

It might be hard to find unusual garlic now, as this is the time of
year it gets shipped and orders have been in for awhile. Google for
the types you want and you may get lucky. It isn't cheap to order, but
as I said, you only have to order once and then you can provide for
the next years' crops yourself.
