spring is here!

well, not really but i’m excited to see some tulip bulbs shooting up! last fall, i planted these extra bulbs in a pail and put them down in the basement hoping i’d be able to force them to flower early. i kind of forgot about them until last week so i thought i should see if there was any action. lo & behold! i just brought them upstairs and hope i can keep the kids & cats away from them. i wonder how long until they produce some flowers?!
