Paperwhites
A few years ago my sister Karen gave us some paperwhite bulbs and told us how to get them to flower. The process seemed to mysterious to me; put some dried up bulbs on some stones, add just enough water to cover the bottom of the bulbs and in a short amount of time…voila, you have the most amazing smelling flowers in your house. In winter! So we do it every year now. Give it a shot. It is a great way to brighten up a household.

Mine are in full bloom now, and they are wonderful.
So perfect when everything else is so gray.
Have a great weekend!
take another pic when they are blooming, please—I can almost smell them now! Narcissus are my favorite—well, except for lilacs…and roses…and magnolias…
The most beautiful scent when it is so cold and so not conducive to live flowers. Remarkable juxtaposition
The very essence of spring! They certainly make January/February more bearable to everyone but Hank, who is pretty content with all months that start with “kibble” and end with “snack”.
