Thanks for a great article, Sally! There's just enough detail to let me know how and why you did the various steps... but you made it sound much less tricky than the instructions given in some gardening books I've read.
Your first attempt sounded a bit like mine (little yellow tulips and purple 'Miss Saigon' hyacinths), and although my pot of bulbs wasn't the most gorgeous specimen of its kind, I loved having those spring blooms in the house in winter! Next year, I'll get some potted up on time so I can try again... and, like you, I think I'll stick with single-species pots. If I get them to flower simultaneously, I can always group pots together for a "garden" display!
Thanks for encouraging me to give this another try. I'm with you! :-)
Positively Loved Your Article!! I love forcing hyacinths in the spring...have several blooming now in fact and my house smells wonderful! Nothing says spring like the smell of a blooming hyacinth : )
