Dear Pam,

Thank you for your advice about forcing narcissus. I love your little red toy pickup truck full of them. I'll watch for you every time I'm in a Thrift Shop.

Regards,
Ed

Please put them in the compost, don't just throw in the trash!

Oh darn. Last year's forced paperwhites were still sitting in their (dry) gravel this October, so I pulled them out and replanted them in single glass cylinders. I was THRILLED to see roots and a green shoot the very next day. I'm disappointed to read here that they seldom rebloom. I'm going to keep them going just to see, and will report back here if by chance there's a miracle. But now I'll know to get new bulbs.

Thank you for this post! Forcing bulbs has actually been on my "try it out list" for awhile but this is the first write-up about it that is thorough, informative and fun to read! Thanks for all the great tips and info! 🙂

I need to get some started! Love all of your container ideas...especially the simple jar and rocks!

The idea of growing these bulbs in soup tureen or a silver casserole dish is brilliant! I'll definitely be searching my thrift store for some of those now!

Sweet idea, Pam! I have an old Irish tureen which would look lovely with paperwhites in it. Might be a new post idea for the future. <3 Thank you for the tutorial!!! Pinning, of course. <3
