Winter Blooms

I've been away for a week visiting my family for the holidays. I had the best time! Before I left New York, my paperwhites were just starting to bloom, and there were a few buds forming. I was hoping that I wouldn't miss the blooming display while I was gone. I've been waiting all month for these babies to bloom, I planted them as bulbs in early December.

When I came back yesterday, I was greeted to this! Four buds had bursted open. The smell was intoxicating! I just love the smell of paperwhites! It freshens up the entire apartment. These are my favorite winter blooms! It doesn't feel like Christmas without these!
