Forcing the Issue

I love forcing bulbs all winter long. I am invigorated to see green shoots and dark brown dirt in the middle of these cold New England winters. We have a beautiful amaryllis on the dining table as I type (it is white and so not christmas-y) and I am onto my second batch of narcissus in my kitchen. Here is an old picture from my San Francisco mantle, where I forced some bulbs in February.
