Ahhh!the sweet fragrance of
paperwhites
for the holidays.
Time to get started!Now you
need a drink!
Well,
not you, exactly ...
your paperwhitesand forced to drink alcohol
are shorterand less floppy
with no loss of bloom size.
"When bulbs are planted in
early December,
they will flower in 4 to 6 weeks
with seldom a miss."
Plant now in time for
CHRISTMAS
or
NEW YEARS!!
CHEERS!
Hugs and have a wonderful White Wednesday.

So what's the message here? Drink alcohol so I can be shorter and . . .? LOL - only you would find that research! Have a great Thanksgiving - it will be an adult day here with a 'drop-in' by our dear daughter late in the day. Dropping by to say hi to everyone she hasn't seen for a bit. If conversation is lacking, maybe I should tell her about the paperwhite research!!! ~Adrienne~
