    You taught us so well about forcing paper whites, thank you! You’ve made it look easy and worth trying. I’ve only forced them once and they turned ok but not as well as I was hoping. I did sow grass seed one year with some forced hyacinths for an Easter display and the grass worked great! I had to keep cutting it with scissors ☺️

    A couple of years ago I ordered all the new types available and forced them: Nir, Inbal and Ariel. Of course I ended up with a favorite, but now I can't remember which one it is. I may have to try it again when they go on sale again. This was the most comprehensive description of the paperwhites I have seen. You have put together an excellent presentation for us. I love paperwhites and have been renewed and expounded in my thinking with you video today. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. So many blessings sent your way...

    Absolutely gorgeous! I always learn so much from your videos. And you addressed the fragrance so beautifully. I am one of those people who do not find the fragrance appealing (I am quite sensitive to many fragrances) so it’s good to know that some bulbs do not have a scent. The gift ideas were really fun.

    Another great one Danielle, I love Paperwhites. I inherited my mom's place 16 yrs again and hers are still coming up in the garden, I bet their at least 30 yrs old now. I guess they're probably the stinky variety, but I like the scent, I don't find them offensive at all, not like Boxwood. Always really love the vessels you choose to plant in.

    Great info about paperwhites! Had no idea that different types vary in fragrance. I am trying some now that were gifted to me, but don’t know which variety I have. I almost didn’t plant them because I didn’t like the scent when I tried them many years ago. I found it to be overwhelmingly strong. I do think they’re pretty and they were a gift so I had to try again!

    2. How do I care for the bulb after they are done blooming?
    3 When/how do I know they are done blooming?

    Great video’. I’ve been forcing paperwhites forever and have always had wonderful luck--which is good since I positively ADORE the fragrance. I put bouquets and plantings everywhere in the house. Now I want to try the new varieties but must make sure not to buy the one with no scent - I think it’s the Inbal? I’ve also grown Erlicheer and that one is my favorite. Thanks again!

    Yeah, I thought people were being overly dramatic about the smell until I started growing some this year. The smell is just awful. I can't handle it lol. To me it has a sickly sweet smell reminiscent of the smell from elementary school when a kid would vomit and they'd pour this scented cat litter like stuff on it.
