I never said anything was wrong with your statement about hyacinths. Shrug!

Leftwood said:Blooming any plant out its natural cycle is forcing, in a pot or not.


Oriental lilies blooming in summer is their natural cycle. So:
DavidLMO said:An Oriental lily blooming in a pot in Summer is not forcing. Perhaps we disagree I guess.


I don't see what the disagreement is. Confused You just restated what I said!

In your original post, you mentioned Christmas bulbs, so I was compelled to infer that you were talking about blooming them for Christmas (forcing), not summer. How was I to know? Still, I was careful not to accuse you of anything by making a simple statement that would cover either case, and not point any fingers. I'm just baffled by your reply.

However, if you believe growing lilies for Christmas bloom is not forcing, than we must agree to disagree. Smiling
