Here's a picture of some of the tulips I forced to use indoors. This was for Easter - 2 or 3 years ago. The tulips are Darwin "Princess Irene", one of my favorites - I love the purple with orange flame.

I had the 6" plastic azalea pots of bulbs in the ground over the winter, then dug them up in early March and put them in this Chinese foot tub with mulch to hide the pots. I kept the tub on an outdoor porch so it was cool, got sun, but was out of the rain, so it didn't get waterlogged (the planter doesn't have a drain hole). I moved it indoors on Friday, before Easter, to have for entertaining.
