During the after-Christmas sale this year at Target they had Smith-and-Hawken forced bulb kits for $2.50. I have always wanted to try to force bulbs but it always looked to difficult, but I was so wrong. It was super simple to do it and even though it took nearly 3 months for the amaryllis to bloom, it was so worth it. They produce such a beautiful flower. The kids enjoyed watching it grow and they waited with anticipation for the flowers to come out...
The kit came with the bulb, pot, soil and instructions. It took me maybe 5 minutes to get it all set up. The hardest part was waiting for them to actually bloom.
I also planted paperwhites, but forgot to take pictures. They grew and bloomed much more quickly and were beautiful...
