The Paper White Narcissus I forced are starting to bloom.  I moved the planter into the bathroom where it is cooler and the flower show will last much longer. They smell sooo sweet! I am forcing a pot of tulips also, but they are just poking up.  It is always a welcome sight and a fun project.  Then when the bulbs are finished blooming, I plant them in the flower bed outside.  They are puny the first year, but then come back the following year with nice blooms.
