I trust you have counted them otherwise you wouldn’t have been so specific with your title – in which case it’s pretty amazing they are all flowering at the same time!
Not personally, too technical for me (not enough fingers), but the Head Gardener did the bloom count. We were amazed that they all flowered together, but I suspect it was more to do with their genetics than our skill. Whatever, they’e still delighting us when we get as far as the greenhouse.
I was also wondering how many bulbs there were as I thought you wouldn’t have put 70 in one pot but if they have been there a while they will have progeny, I expect
They were all very small offsets in a big pot and we didn’t expect them all to flower at once!

The bulbs are readily available and easy to grow but as you observe not easy to photograph. These were not to bas as they were so tightly packed in the pot.
