Maybe because my sinuses are all clogged up.?? <BR/><BR/>Frances I have never heard of adding rubbing alcohol to paperwhites. It will be interesting to hear if anyone does that.<BR/><BR/>RJ, I will come over and look at your blooms. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Nan.<BR/><BR/>Hi Annie, glad you liked wapperjawed. It sort of fit the plant. You will like kalanchoes if you get some. They are so lovely when they bloom and the bloom lasts a long time. They plant itself is no demanding. Just wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Hi Meems, thanks for the palm info. I looked at Rusty's palm bloom. WOW that thing is huge.<BR/><BR/>The one I have started out in an arrangement several years ago.
