Paper Whites

The Paper White Bulbs I purchased at Longwood Gardens are blooming right now.

Only 6 bulbs, all healthy, all bloomed beautifully.

Here they are in the bright sunlight, I enjoy the scent and the shimmer of the pedals!


Without the sun, they are a pure white...


My new Basil is doing well...

I "may" have added a few too many seeds.


My Cyclamen Plant has one bud and one bloom!


My Orchard still has 6 blooms on it and is looking mighty fine!

 I have been baking Christmas Cookies and the house in beginning to "smell" a lot like Christmas!
