Beautiful Bulbs ~
Saw these little beauties at my neighborhood market and
I couldn’t resist! I’m a pushover for paperwhites !
Narcissus Papyraceus for all of you plant aficionados .
I adore the sweet fragrance, the delicate white
blooms and long, lanky stems of
green. I placed my first five bulbs of the season, in our worn
vintage silver trophy,
tucking in bits of bright green squishy moss.
I call it, my silver cup of holiday inspiration.
They’ll need to be properly staked but I got this down.
And now, one by one…lovely little pots of
paperwhites will turn up at our house .
I’ll be rummaging around for creative containers.
The holiday lights go up on Friday…
T’is the season for holiday decorating. And so
it begins…
Hi Monica, I started my first two urns of paperwhites and an amaryllis last weekend. I love the silver trophy cup as a planting vessel. I used sheet moss on the surface but I like the look of your moss much more. So glad to hear you are putting up your lights soon as well – I don’t feel so over eager now!
By the way, I love the Autumn Inspirations video – I hope there will be a winter version.
All best,
Phyllis
That was so nice of you Phyllis, really appreciate the feedback. I’m going to do a few pots of white amaryllis too! Monica
