sinple hopes for spring

I am over winter.  It can't go away soon enough, but until it does I try to keep a little peek of spring in my house to give me hope.  These are just paper whites I've forced about 3 weeks ago and they are already blooming.  The sticks are from my winter snowflake centerpiece from a few weeks ago.  The sticks will keep the flowers from flopping over.  I did the same thing with an amaryllis.  I also have a few more pots started so I'll have blooms for weeks.  Maybe until the forsythia blooms and the crocus peep their heads out.
