We are in midwinter now, but the nurseries, florists and garden centres are already selling spring bulbs in bloom. Forcing bulbs involves artificially inducing them to bloom indoors, typically out of their natural season, by mimicking the chilling period they need for flowering. This is achieved by chilling the bulbs in a cool, dark place (like a refrigerator or unheated garage) for a specific duration, followed by providing them with light and warmth to stimulate growth and blooming.
In any case, they make a bright and cheery display and fill the room they are put into with a heavenly fragrance.
