I often post photos of these flowers in late December and folks have asked me to remind them early enough to start them. The narcissus bulls are at the nurseries now so get busy and have fun experimenting with growing your own flowers in winter.

Although I have not attempted growing Paper-whites — the holiday season reminds me of them! I agree with the sensation of nurturing when we grow something — or create something. Thank you for sharing with Nurturing Thursday!
