Narcisuss Papyraceus-
a/k/a Paperwhites
They seem to be a favorite flower to
plant and have bloom at Christmas time!
Mixed with red they are spectacular!

This photo is from January 2011 when
my Paperwhites were blooming.
It seemed as though the tall stems
had found each other and
were gracefully hugging.
This year I tried a new idea.
I have this handled box that was sitting around with
three glass jars in it.
While staring at the bulbs at the
store it came to me to use the jars for them.
I put a dressing of some artificial greens around the jars
to give it a little more body.
I layered moss and stones around the bulbs
They're growing but it will be a few weeks before I see flowers.
In the corner by my sink I've relocated the Christmas Cactus and wrapped the pot with some burlap and satin ribbons.
The flowers are pretty and I'm pleased to see more buds coming!
I've dressed my window with this Church
and a small village like piece that lights up too. The Church has little lights and the tree spins. It has a manger on the left, carolers and the Christmas tree. It's fun to watch while it's on.
I want to thank-you for following me
these past 2+ years that I've
been doing this garden blog.
I'll come back and show you the
flowers in my handled
box once they are blooming!
In the meantime I want to wish you a
Merry Christmas to all!

I will be joining
Rose Vignettes blog for
That will be lovely with the Paperwhites in it. My mom had a box similar to that.

I've started some paperwhites from bulbs for the first time this year. They are almost ready to bloom! I also love Christmas cacti. I want to buy one for our home.

Liz I love what you have done with these plants...I have been inspired and I look forward to seeing how your other flowers bloom.
ReplyDeleteLiz it is all so pretty,I would love to see your little church lit up. We can get those here but they are terribly expensive. One day I will treat myself. Merry Christmas to you too. I hope you have a safe,healthy happy New Year. xx jeanetteann
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so many wonderful blooms over the next several weeks! Your wooden box is so pretty with the jars.
I'm kicking myself for not having picked up some paperwhites this winter. They are such pretty flowers and I like the fragrance.
