♥PaperWhite Bulbs♥

*Paper White Blossoms*

Because of the Weather here in Southern California, it was 90 degrees yesterday,

my paperwhite bulbs are blooming really early

They are beautiful blossoms

It always feels like the holiday season with the amazing smell of paper whites.

♥

It is so fun to plant the bulbs and watch everyday as the blossoms

start to appear and the flowers begin to emerge.

Then the glorious fragrance that engulfs the entire home

with natures beautiful perfume

I always try to have at least one or two vases filled with bulbs at

different blooming stages by the front door

so when guests walk in the first thing they see and smell are

the glorious paperwhites.

♥

This year the beauty has begun early

paper white bulbs are so easy to grow

to force them inside...

all you just need is

a vase about 3 to 4 inches tall

3 to 4 bulbs for each vase

stones or pebbles(you can use sand too)

fill the vase halfway with the pebbles

tuck in the bulbs pointy side up

cover with more marbles or pebbles (small stones)

add water to the base of the bulb

keep in a shady spot until the roots start to appear then

move to a sunny spot when the bulb starts to sprout

It is so fun

and such a wonderful way to bring the outside indoors

The planted paperwhites make great gifts for the holidays

so I am planting a few extra for friends.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend

Blessings
