Paperwhites

Jim would like to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead.Samuel Butler
Though he is gone from this earth, his father will live on in the hearts of many.



Last Saturday I changed the paperwhites container to a large round one with higher sides.  I also taped some white ribbon across the top to help the leaves from drooping when they finally get tall.


 Then I gathered some white lace and glued it around the top to cover the ribbon edges. I added a white flower swag on one side.
 one week later, the first paperwhite peeks through
I think the ribbon should hold them up. I just hope I will be able to tolerate the smell once they bloom!

  1. It looks very pretty and should do the trick. I thought they were one you would have blooming by Christmas, but maybe it's good you have something blooming after that.

  4. I know their scent is often given a bad rap, but I've never been put off by it. Perhaps I have had a non offensive variety??
