Simple and beautiful

Not much Stemgirl needs to say here (for a change)….

Fragrant, delicate and magical Paper White narcissus.  Completely gorgeous.

springing into march

Hooray for the magical, fragrant narcissi from the Isles of Scilly!  Produced  by family growers in the open air, there are a huge number of varieties, all with surprisingly different perfumes.  They’re normally available from late winter to the end of spring.  There were loads at the market this morning – despite the cold and drizzle outside, they made me feel that, finally, spring is on its way.
