Paperwhites!


I love plants, but this is the first time I've ever forced bulbs indoors. Probably the main reason that I haven't done so before now is that I never remember to water. The only houseplants that stand a chance with me are desert plants, or plants that are so huge they can go for a month with very little moisture.

Our new house has a perfect place for smaller houseplants; there's a large window over the kitchen sink with a windowsill deep enough to hold pots up to 6 inches or so. It's here that I put the paperwhites and amazingly enough, I've remembered to water them! The bulbs were a Christmas gift from our friend Diane, and every time we see them we are reminded of her.
