Journey North:
We put two red emperor bulbs in water in a jar with
marbles. We started the indoor bulbs on November 4. Our bulb only had
37 roots on January 8. The picture of the bulb in the Washington post
has more roots than our forced bulb. We wonder why the roots are
different. We wonder if the Washington Post's bulb will bloom first
because it has more roots. Does the soil provide more nutrients than
just water? Where are the bulbs growing that are pictured in the
Washington Post? What has the weather been like there?
