Bulbs

We put two paperwhite bulbs in bulb vases two weeks ago and added water.
They are almost 8 inches tall already! The girls are really enjoying
watching them grow. It's great because you can see the roots as well as the
shoots. I usually plant amaryllis but they take forever to grow and use dirt
not vases so they are not as exciting. Just a thought for those long winter
months. Anyone else have something fun to do?

Wow! I didn't know they grew that fast! I have been thinking about getting
some. I'm NOT good with plants though.....always manage to kill them. Are the
paperwhites pretty hardy?

Sadly we haven't seen even a hint of winter yet. It's been around 84 degrees
here all week....Yuck! I'm ready for Fall!!

I'll trade you for a couple days! ;-) We've only barely got above freezing
in the middle of the day for the past week. I think the highest it's been is
39. Our lows have been in the single digits. Back to the OP, that's a good
idea. I've been trying to come up with some nice indoor ideas. I'll have to
look for some of those bulbs.

Yes, Paperwhites tend to grow pretty fast. Amaryllis is slower. Yu can
find a lot of kits with plants, flowers, herbs at stores like Frank's or
Michael's (crafty stores) They are even cheaper after Christmas! Herbs
might be cool, b/c then they can help you cook with them!
