Amaryllis are favorites for the same reason though their normal blooming season falls into early spring rather than winter. In addition to the kinds listed under "Bulbs for Winter-Flowering in the House" several hardy bulbs may be grown indoors for late winter or early spring blooming such as Chionodoxa, Calochortus, Crocus, Iris reticulata, Muscari, Scilla campanulata, and Snowdrops. Success depends to a large degree upon providing suitable temperature such as 40° F for root
