Paper Whites in bloom






Christmas time means enjoying blooming amaryllis and paper whites. I usually opt for the amaryllis, but this year I went with three bulbs of paper whites. They were planted the day after Thanksgiving and began blooming a few days ago. They have a very lovely scent, similar to the scent of a lily, and have a gorgeous white flower with a yellow center. They faintly resemble a piece of popcorn.
