Paperwhites

I just recieved some Paperwhite (Ziva) that I bought with forcing in mind. Any Suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Scooter, I just put mine in a large dish with polished rocks or marbles and push the blubs down in just so the bottom is in the rocks. Then I fill it with water and voila beautiful flowers. I do this every year so that way I can have the fragrance all over the house. Just be sure to use a bowl that is large enough to allow for the roots to spread out. Sometimes I put one or three in a large soup cup and then I can put them on the table or some in the bathroon. Good luck

Scooterbug,

Paperwhites stink! Very pretty but bad smell; don't use them as a centerpiece on your dinner table. LOL!

TLC....I'm starting to think that some are different. I've had fragrant PW's, but the last few times I bought some at the local market...Peeee-Eeeew ! Could it be that they are inbreeding the scent out of these also,like so many other flowers?

LOL,,This could be one way to encourage guests to leave the table when you end up accidently not having enough lobster or filet for seconds ;-D

Then who will help with the dishes??? lol

lobster? ... filet? I'm coming to your house for dinner, LOL!

Put some Calamari on the table with the Lobster n' fillet's and you can bet This lady will be at YOUR table, ignorin' the smell of paperwhites LOLOLOL

No dishes...Paper whites,paper plates,paper tablecloth and a paper butler stands to the side...lol You all are a riot :~)
