Hi all,

I was very interested in David's post, too, but for a different reason.  I 
thought that all of us who need to pre-chill were supposed to make sure that 
our bulbs never shared a fridge with fruit.  Ripening fruit gives off ethylene, 
which, I thought, would stunt or kill the flower developing in the bulb.  Now I 
read that ethylene is helpful?  

I would appreciate elucidation!
Jennifer
