One of the more expensive containers I d bought had narcissus and grape hyacinths in it. I was beside myself when I found out how cheap they were if you bought them raw. While we lived in our house on Fullerton , he learned to live with them. The neat thing about working with bulbs in forcing is the schedule you can set for your flowers. I start potting up bulbs at ten day intervals, so that it s easy to replace blooms on the fade with fresh ones on a regular basis.
Color schemes are incredibly simple, too.
The range of colors available is bigger every year. Another fun way to play with bulbs is in the use of their containers. I ll stick flowers in just about anything that will hold water, and bulbs allow even more container flexiblilty. I like to start the forcing process in a generic plastic container, appropriate to the size of the bulbs. When they're ready to use, I can put them in whatever I like.
