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

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!
