These plants are survivors. Hardy. These plants can handle me remembering to water them after weeks of abandonment. These plants can say they really live.
Well for the next 2 months or so they will have visitors. I'm not sure how long they will stay.. but I hope long enough to bloom anyway.
After a 20 minute drive to Carleton Place Nurseries yesterday, E was able to pick out our own paperwhite bulbs. That place is gorgeous and really left me inspired! If you're in the Ottawa area I suggest there Christmas Shop- I've never been to a better one!
It didn't take long for us to plant the bulbs in dirt (that I dug from the empty lot beside our house..is that bad?) we have 2 of our 6 bulbs planted, watered and ready to nurture. The others are wrapped in a paper bag in our freezer, in case these bulbs actually grow.
And here is how our new plant looks now.
I found the picture below on Wikipedia when I was researching Narcissus or paperwhites. I hope I can show you something a little like this in a months time.
