Crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths are easily forced throughout the cold season, from December to March. This does not require special conditions.
You can also grow these bulbs in water in graceful transparent vessels without any soil. A mixture of mineral fertilizers is dissolved in soft water (rain or melted snow). The bulb is placed so that it hardly touches the water. The vase is taken out to a cool dark place and water is added every 2 weeks. The bulbs take many roots, and when transferred to a bright room, they begin to bloom.
