Forcing bulbs is one small way to bring beautiful blooms indoors. And, the transformation from brown bulb to vibrant bloom is a truly mesmerizing process.
I received the lovely gift of an amaryllis bulb a few months ago and after watching and waiting with child-like anticipation, the amaryllis is now in full, magnificent bloom. Once an amaryllis begins to bloom, it loses all of the quiet shyness that it embraced for so long and starts to sing an enchanting song of floral bliss. Its most showy flowers are amazing and trumpet-like - it's like each flower is calling out, "I'm gorgeous, and I know it!"
