How did you fare on my "Forcing Bulbs" quiz? (this is a "guest book")

Did you learn more about growing bulbs indoors from this lens?

From the lens Forcing Bulbs to Bloom!.

If you can share any photos or techniques for growing bulbs inside, please feel free to do so!

FYI: I think the vase below (which is over 6 inches tall) would make a wonderful container to force some bulbs.

    Great information. We have been looking to see what we can do with some bulbs we have that have finished flowering, it would be nice to keep them for next year. Blessed by an angel.

    We love forcing Paper Whites during the winter months. We are now starting to experiment with other bulbs. Do you know if it is possible to force daffodils?

    According to this article about forcing bulbs to bloom, you can force daffodils in pebbles and water.

    Thanks. I can not take the credit for them. "hlkljgk", Flickr and Allposters are my sources.

    Somehow, I managed to get all four correct. This is especially surprising because I am not a gardener. But even a non-gardener like I am can recognize a lens that;'s packed with good usable information. Thumbs up!

    I've never forced bulbs, since I tend to be allergic to their flowers, but I did learn from this lens.

    Sounds like you need the artificial flowers I have listed above. Like you, they make me sneeze!
