Default 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........
