Paperwhites



Every Christmas I buy paperwhite bulbs and they usually bloom about a week before Christmas. Some people don't care for the fragrance from the flowers but for me, it has such a powerful association. When my first child was born, it was the first week of Janurary, several years ago now, and many people brought us paperwhite bulbs as gifts. Now whenever I smell them, I get transported right back to the first week back from hospital.

Here's the last of my paperwhites from December!
