inquiring minds: is it too late for paper whites?

1tramp

well, is it? are there any authorities on seasonal paper white bulbs out there? because if it’s not too late, i really want these, from kim ludy’s vintage etsy shop trampoline. aren’t they just so sweet, and yet clean and unfussy? i’m not big on house plants, but i could wrap my head around growing some bulbs in these lovely vintage containers and vases. and paper whites just smell so good, too. check out more great vintage finds from trampoline.

    i was given two bulbs on the first of january and they’re thriving. they smell delicious and i love being greeted by them every morning and evening.

  3. these are lovely. my mum has them too. delicate white flowers are such a joy in winter.

    definitely NOT too late. i grow them continuously until my spring bulbs come up in the yard.

    i also grow them in vintage baking tins. tarnished silver and white…so pretty
