(John Christenson)
Amaryllis, tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils are easy to force into flower in late winter and early spring. Keep them near freezing for three months, then set them in a cool, sunny location. Most will begin to flower in three to four weeks. Voilà! Spring. // Brass pot, $49, terracotta pot and stand, $20, and hanging basket, $39, Tangletown Gardens // Carlyle glass vase, $29.95, CB2; betta fish, $12.99; and aquatic plants, $4.99-$11.99, A World of Fish // Jumbo moss ball, $28, Moss Boss Studio // Miscellaneous glass vases, $10-$35 and brass shell-casing pot, $38, Pink Elephant Vintage & Antiques // Plants courtesy Tangletown Gardens
