White Wednesday Narcissus ~

paper - white narcissus

{pey-per-hwahyt ,-wahyt}

-noun

a daffodil {narcissus papyraceus} having star shaped,

pure white flowers and often grown indoors

in pebbles and water for winter blooming.

tied with vintage lace to keep them upright ~

they had just started to open in the

I have never attempted growing bulbs in the winter until

this year. I found some after Christmas half off so I decided

to take the plunge and try.

These flowers did not disappoint!

All I had to do was plant them in the soil that came

in the container with the bulbs, give them a drink of

water and watch them grow.

And grow they have!

Today I measured them and they stand a

whopping 26.5 inches tall above the container. I tied vintage lace around them a few days ago so

they would stay upright and not flop over.

I am loving them and will definitely grow them

from now on.

I urge you to give them a try if you haven't

before. You will be pleasantly surprised.
