Remember my paperwhites? Wow, have they grown!
In case you didn't see them, here's how they looked only 2 weeks ago.
I've since learned that they can grow very tall (obviously) but that this growth can be controlled. Until today, I actually managed to keep them standing on their own by rotating the pot so that they weren't always leaning toward the light. They finally got too tall and I had to use the ribbon to tie them today.
The poinsettias are also faux. I just painted a couple of $3 terra-cotta pots white and dropped them in. I used to buy white poinsettias every year but thought it was a little wasteful andI hated throwing them away when they inevitably get leggy and ugly. Plus, I couldn't tell the difference between real and faux without looking up close.
I had no idea that paperwhites grew so fast! I will have to try to grow some next year. Your entry way looks very, very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLooks so wonderful!

I only buy red poinsettias and didn't know the white one can also be so gorgeous if put at the right place. This little corner looks so peaceful and wonderful :)
