I love things like this. Over Christmas break I think I may try it.. we'll see :) I found this excellent gem on : http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/12/we-like-it-wild-paperwhites.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=we-like-it-wild-paperwhites. More instructions are on this link. Please check out their other flowery goodies and ideas as well!"Usually bulbs rest during the winter, but during their dormant months you can trick them into thinking it’s springtime, and with the right conditions you can have beautiful blooms in several weeks. We purchased some paperwhite bulbs from our local hardware store for about a dollar a piece. Most nurseries, garden shops or hardware stores with gardening sections will have a small selection of bulbs to choose from. The bulbs we chose already had some green shoots and were ready to be planted. Paperwhites will usually only bloom once when forced and watching the process up close is a true treat."
