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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

The only thing I'm missing from the videos is a kind of quick guide to possible diseases.
I know it's strange, but I like to not throw out plants if I find that later they could have been cured. I want the knowledge of how to heal my plants as much as they heal me.
(For amaryllis as well)

I love watching your videos! You explain everything so well. I have a question on whether you have a flower gift idea that is similar to this video for around Easter or Mother's day? I'm smitten with the idea to use dishes that have many more uses than just growing bulbs.

I found a huge glass hurricane shade at an antique shop and growing potentially lanky flowers in it would be the perfect use! I-ve failed with these in the past but I-m ready to try again! Thanks for your always thorough tips -

I had just planted my Paperwhite bulbs, then watched your video. I quickly moved them in a cool dark place and will bring them out in a week or two. Thank you! You saved me from my usual leggy Paperwhites! Love your videos!

I did paper Whites for the first time this year and I had the opposite lssue. Some of my plants where very short. Some as small as 3 to 4-. Other were perfect height. Would you be able ro tell me why some didn't grow well?

Help! What do I do with the bulbs once they stop blooming? What do I do to save them for next year? This is my first year having them. Lovely over Christmas. Would like to reuse them next holiday season.

Such helpful tips. I put my paperwhites in a cooler closet as soon as I watched this. They were rooting unevenly. Also glad to know about the different kinds of bulbs to help with the odor!

I grew paper whites last year and loved them until they started to fall over. This video is so detailed with all the instructions I need to grow them again. I-ll be picking some up today.

I learn so much from your videos! Paperwhites have always been one of my favorites because they grew everywhere in my grandma's garden. Thank you for your informative, entertaining vlog!

Where do you purchase your paper whites? Is the variety that is less smelly spelled Enball? I love the smell but my husband thinks they smell like urine. Very informative talk!

Your display looks wonderful but to me the smell is awful. Thank you for explaining which ones I could try that don't stink. I was expecting a nice sweet narcissus smell; big shock. -

I'm experimenting with peroxide on seeds and seedlings. So far the seedlings seem stronger. I notoriously battle fungus flies, but I have none at the 3 week mark! I am thrilled!
