I've been coercing them for years, in Southern CA and now in Phoenix, and I keep them in cooler places until the flowers appear. We have an informal competition every year to see who first detects the delicious scent of the very first little petals...the scent is powerful, just wait! You will love this new tradition, and they also make great gifts. By the way, your thoughts on slowing down come at a perfect time for me. Thank you, blessings and enjoy the season!

I may have to try this as I think I never felt confident even reading other written instructions. Crowd. But not too much. Water but not too much. So I shied away from trying. Maybe just trying something new is worth it! A friend gave me the tiniest clay pot with a huge daffodil bulb poking out and I'm not sure what I did if anything other than put it outside and even top heavy as it was, fallen over, it bloomed! So these Narcissus bulbs will bloom and bloom again next year too. A gift that gives again and again.
