Ep 187. Paperwhites in Water Like to Party

Garden Dilemmas, Delights & Discoveries

Paperwhites like to party when grown in water, adding alcohol to prevent flopping. The same is true when forcing Amaryllis.
Both bulbs can only flower once in water. However, Amaryllis bulbs can bloom annually in potting mix, and paperwhites can bloom for about two years; Mary Stone describes how.
She shares a Greek Myth about Paperwhites Narcissus, then encourages listeners to observe and admire flowers beyond our senses with an analogy about the miracle of how our bodies work, along with plants and wildlife.
