My forced paper whites have grown so rapidly. They are already in bloom. 
The flowers are smaller than I expected, although they are very fragrant. 
They grew so quickly and are a joy to look at!
I picked up this miniature rose (Kordana Rose) today. The colors fit the season perfectly and it is so healthy looking, I couldn’t resist.

Actually the real reason aside from the color scheme is that the blooms bring me back to June eventhough it is snowing and blustery outside.
I am hoping your holidays are filled with love, family, friends, fun, good health and everything you are hoping for!

Wouldn’t life be worth the living
Wouldn’t dreams be coming true
If we kept the Christmas spirit
All the whole year through?

Gotta love those mini roses Teresa! I’m amazed how sturdy they are.
I haven’t grown paperwhites (yet,) but I just might have to get some this winter.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

I didn’t force paperwhites this year and now I’m wishing I had after seeing yours budding and just starting to bloom. The wreath of vintage ornaments, in your previous post, is gorgeous! What a grand way to preserve and showcase them.
