Here are a few websites Dennis that should explian exactly how to 'force' bulbs to grow when you want them to. Hope you find them useful as I'm sure other visitors to our forums will. :-D http://www.extension.umn.edu/distributi ... G1116.html http://www.extension.umn.edu/projects/y ...

I bring mine in now from the outside into the warm, water and feed and beg it to do the business. I have never got them to flower for Christmas, but by mid January they normally look splendid.
Amaryillis is my favorite bulb.I can hardly wait for them to start blooming. I had all colors one year .This past year I had pink and white only.I can't figure what happened to the red ,yellow and white ones.I'll get more next year .
