Senior Cottage Living Gardening Editor, Kate Karam, did a great story on forcing paperwhite bulbs and giving them as gifts for the holidays. I fell in love with this idea. Yesterday I stocked up on bulbs and I bought lots of plain white pots from Ikea. Tomorrow I'll plant them and keep them inside in a darker corner of my home. I'm trying to stunt their growth a bit so they don't get too impossibly tall. If I plant them now they'll have about 2 weeks growth {up to about 6-8 inches} before I give them away. I'll post photos when I get things going tomorrow.
