Paperwhites for fall

IMG_0664

One of the things I love about living in southern California is how easily flowers grow in our temperate weather.

IMG_0685These Paperwhites grow from bulbs, and I would expect to see them bloom in the spring, yet they are already in bloom in Downey and it is still October.

What a fun surprise to find them covered in dew this morning.

It is the traveler's dower.
