Narcissus

Those Narcissus variety are called "Carlton". They bear huge flowers. When I first planted those they were pre-chilled so it took them few weeks till I saw these blooms!

There are around 3-4 buds that are still growing. Definately would grow these next year same time!

Enjoy the pictures taken this morning...

Paperwhites

I admit that paperwhites are my favorite bulbs to grow, because the flowers stay in bloom for at least 3 weeks here in Qatar. I planted those indoor and they tend to get very high, and when I planted those outdoors they grew just fine and not so tall.

I purchased once paperwhites from Home Depot in Houston and the bulb size was small. Later I found on the web Easy To Grow Bulbs who have all different kinds of paperwhites. Those bulbs were so big they produce 2 to 3 stems filled with flowers.

So I received my order from easytogrowbulbs and I planted all of them outdoors except for these 4. I'm experimenting with different decorating styles for growing bulbs indoors. So I had those cubic glass vases and all I needed was Spanish Moss, Gravel Rocks and some potting soil.

I only added a little of potting soil just to make sure that the vase stays wet.
