can you force an oriental lily without pre-chilling?

Caryn, it can be done, but it is not quite as simple as forcing spring flowering bulbs, as lilies don't require a winter dormancy or chilling period anyway. Here is a link thay may help - good luck! I always wanted to have fresh Casa Blanca blossoms for the holidays, but they are ridiculously expensive.....maybe I should give this a try........
