Narcissus Is A Kind Of White Trumpeted Flower

Narcissus is a kind of white trumpeted flower with strong scents. Although originally cultivated in Europe and Asian, it is currently planted all around the world. As a member of the whole Narcissus family, Paperwhites can not compete in size with other family members like Daffodils and Jonquils, but its fragrance make it outstanding in all Narcissus members. Most paperwhite narcissus have white flowers while some species have trumpet shaped flowers in yellow too. Before you plant your narcissus bulbs, you should prepare yourself a shallow container and put a layer of pebbles or other decorative that is at least deep on the bottom of the container. Then you need to put bulbs root side down into the pebbles so that the bottom centimeter is surrounded. At last, put some water in the container to reach the top of the pebble. Note that the bulb should just contact the water surface, otherwise, too much water will cause it to rot very soon. You should keep an eye on the water surface and make sure the bulb can absorb water when it is growing. After a few days, your Paperwhites will keep blooming all winter long!

The narcissus is a flower that belongs to the daffodil family. It is a beautiful flower that comes in numerous colors in the wild such as; white with an orange center, white with a yellow center the most attractive color is all yellow with the center a deep yellow and the petals a lighter yellow color. It is a very common Easter flower. A beautiful crepe paper narcissus for Easter is not difficult to make if you are a beginner at paper flower making you can use the artificial centers to make it a little easier on yourself and if you have several to make using the artificial centers will also cut down on the amount of time you have to spend making them. Each child will need a pint size clean milk carton with the top removed. Cover the outside of the milk carton with crepe paper and then attach the flowers (as many or few as you would like) to the outside of the carton. Fill the inside with jellybeans or whatever candy you want. This is also a great project for kids to make with adults at home. They can be made and brought to a senior citizen home, nursing home or even a hospital to help spread some Easter cheer throughout the community. It is a great project for any adult or child who enjoys making paper flowers and has a giving spirit.

A small centerpiece made of paper narcissus is another wonderful idea for your home, as a gift, for your pastor, mail carrier, babysitter, housekeeper or your pastor and church congregation. It is nice to be remembered on Easter, why not remember all the important people in your life with a beautiful paper flower narcissus gift. There have been some reports that narcissus bulbs have been kept successfully in open paper bags in a cool, dark place over winter and planted just as soon as it is possible to get them into the ground in very early spring. These bulbs bloomed in a normal manner at the usual time later on in spring. This practice however, is not a safe one because there always is a great possibility that the bulbs will dry out and deteriorate so much while in storage that they would make very poor plants and fail to bloom after being planted. These potted bulbs can be forced into growth for flowering in the house in late winter or kept in cold storage and planted in the garden as soon as it is possible to do so.
