After this rich feedback on my contribution, which has really forced tears in my eyes I like to proceed by a confirmating message of the observation of my one bulb of this cultivar which I forced for the 2nd time (the previous images where derived from 2 bulbs 2 y old in one pot I gave away to a friend who forced the bulbs following exactly my [i]husbandry[/i] recommendations.

O.K. one 27 cm bulb here; reposed at 8-17 grd, repotted in coco soil, watered carefully from the bottom and forced at the same soil temperature range for 3 weeks now.
3 flower stalks and yes - 10 leaves are emerging.

Baby Star is a not so space consuming hybrid and a source of concentrated beauty, even in this state now.
The only disadvantage I can discover is that the color saturation of the flowers is strongly dependent on the light conditions.
The rich pigmentation of leaves, stems and bracteous flower covering leaves here is due to direct sunlight only filtered by the thin poyethylene foil "roof" which prevents rain water getting access to the plant and particularly to the soil surface *ggg*

Hans,

What is there to say:
Perhaps, like me, everyone is 'dumb' by your results,
doesn't know what to say, and silently stands in wonder...

Continue the good work !
