Or so I hope to have. On a couple of blogs I saw a neat little trick in growing some oh so lovely flowers called Paper Whites or there more technical plant name "Narcissus". I found these bulbs at Canadian Tire for $4.99.
So what you have to do is fill a glass container (I had this one downstairs with all of my other glass containers) and get some river rocks ... I bought these at Walmart ages ago, and pretty much just keep them around for whatever I may need them for.
Make a base with the rocks for the bulbs to sit on. Then place all the bulbs in and secure them with a couple smaller rocks.
Fill the container up with water until the bottom of the bulbs are submerged. You don't want to drown the bulbs but make sure that you check the water line every couple of days so that the bulbs don't dry out.
Then just stick them somewhere where they will get some light, and hopefully, fingers crossed they will grow long and lovely! Apparently they are suppose to smell nice too. Well guess we will see if my black-thumb can keep these suckers alive! I will let you know!
oohh... if that works, I want to try!! COol idea!
