Plus I hate the step of the 14 weeks of chilling!<br />Very few stores offer pre-chilled bulbs for sale, and it is so hard to find tulip bulbs around this time of the year. <br /><br />I found one site though: <br /><br />http://www.botanicalart.etsy.com. <br /><br />They have a great collection of tulip bulbs that are pre-chilled and ready to bloom indoors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-9266395073463650512012-02-02T22:02:58.005-05:002012-02-02T22:02:58.005-05:00Lona, it was so sweet of you to tell everyone abou...Lona, it was so sweet of you to tell everyone about my blog address!

I often get smell triggered migraines so have to be careful with strong perfumes and know I wouldn't be able to handle some Hyacinths in a bowl but I was ok with the paperwhites. Weird isn't it how we all react differently? :D<br /><br />I need to get out and pick up some spring bulbs for inside, as well as outside!
