I have yet to send my runners out for Fanny Blossom's, so I can't confirm if it's just you or the difficulty for finding them has indeed been raised. I usually have enough of them to make my own batch as soon as I get there though. There's about 20 before Battle Tower. I'm starting Maxos Temple on my newest char, so as soon as I get the Battle Tower, if you haven't already got an answer, I will test this also. ^^;
