These are simply the best flowers. They are fresh, clean, crisp and not cloying. They are the flowers I admired every day in London at the little flowershop by the tube. They were my comforts when Sadie died. My mother now has them in her kitchen and doesn't know what to do with them (perhaps I'm not related to her, afterall...) They are...
the great...
the wonderful...
the oh, so Lizzy...
paper whites!
(Ok, so their full name is paper white narcissus, but it sounds a bit off to say your favorite flowers are narcissuses.)

or perhaps the fact that they are called Narcissus makes them being your favorite flower all the more fitting. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of the scent, but they are growing on me. At least around the Bay Area they are popping up everywhere!
