To brighten your day

"Paperwhites came out in a flush of sweet orangey scent. Above the orange blossom was a bluebell smell producing a scent of comfort and bright rightness, an echo of spring in the sitting room on these dark December days. So glad that we bothered to pot them along with the burgeoning hyacinths in the airing cupboard; a store of friendly feeling."

Isabel Bannerman, Scent Magic: Notes from a Gardener.

Stunning! And brightening.

I have grown paperwhites but found the scent too overpowering indoors.
