I have placed one bulb outdoors yesterday to try Cem's suggestion..keeping fingers crossed
The ones left in a glass vase are not to directly hit by the sun, there is lots of light from the west windows but not too direct sun. One of the bulbs actively sending roots, while the other one sitting pretty. And I do run the ceiling fan too, as it is amongst my orchids who love good air flow

Okay it is now April, about 4 months since I have tried to force 4 narcissus ziva bulbs, to date only 1 did bloom in January, and here is how the others stand:

The 2 bulbs left in the glass vase started to finally grow her leaves more actively, but alas still no blooms in the making:



The bulb I have moved outdoors is also in a similar phase of growth, but the leaves are a bit shorter. I guess due to the sudden onset again of cool weather.



A really prolonged attempt for a forced bloom. But am still hoping, maybe, just maybe as real warmer weather sets in, it will still try to give a bloom. If not, oh well, better luck next time

My narcissus ziva bulb outdoors is awake this Fall. Just saw this bud this morning

I'm so glad it's doing well for you Enjoythose beautifully scented blooms! You're finally being rewarded after all these months.

Thanks Annette Funny how just when you least expect it, that's the time they grow.

It's a nice surprise.

And the bloom is out

It's sooo pretty! How's the scent?

Well..can't really smell something..maybe coz it is so out in the open..and just one bloom stalk
