Christmas Presents that Last a Long Time

Last year, Dorothy and Sara & their families gave us several months of planted bulbs so that we could enjoy flowers in the winter. It was so successful that this year, they decided to send us some bulbs, and we could plant them as we liked. The first bulbs to grow and make beautiful flowers are the paper-white narcissis. They are so pretty - the first amaryllis is just beginning to grow, so we should have flowers for a long time. They are so welcome in the middle of this snowy, icy, frosty winter - a reminder that spring isn't a long time away, and that it will eventually come.
