DavidLMO said:Blooming [lilies] in the pot is not considered forcing like a hyacinth or amarylis at Christmas. It does not wear out the bulb.

Blooming any plant out its natural cycle is forcing, in a pot or not. But it is true that lilies tolerate forcing better than most. Amaryllis, on the other hand, are forced as a normal growth pattern, and do not "wear out" at all (when properly cared for). In fact, they thrive with this treatment.
