Bulbs Are Cool!

So, whilst moving things around on the patio pre-hip/back break down, I found a rooted bulb! Now, it could be for a tulip or a narcissus or even a hyacinth- I am not so sure. The cool thing though is that I had just been wondering about forcing a bulb indoors! And after googling decided it sounded like a giant pain in my ass. You got refrigerate it in the dark in dirt for like 12 weeks and then acclimate it to normal temps and sometime in the next century, you get a flower! BOOORRING! Sadly, there is no speed forcing! Forcing IS the speedier way. But then, there was this one random bulb that I had moved in the spring so I brought it in and planted it and it is GROWING!!
So excited! It is like the slowest moving surprise ever!
