Paper White 

(English after Japanese)

この季節になるとお花屋さんでよく見かけるのがスイセンです。こちらでは「Paper White」という名前で売っています。


毎年1月、お正月の後には必ずスイセンを買ってきて生けているのですが、アメリカでもスイセン売っているのでとてもうれしいです。


生け花も大好きで、毎年1月は写真(一番下)のようなスイセンの生花を生けていました。
こちらは生け花学校での展示作品です。


すーっとまっすぐ長く伸びた葉に小さなたくさんの白い。清々しい印象を与えてくれます。水あげもとてもよく、花が次々と咲くので長持ちします。



今我が家はスイセンのいい香りでいっぱいです!



In this season, you can often find Paper White Flowers at local flower shops.

It's my tradition to buy Paper White after New Years and I am glad that I can still do that even after moving to the States.

Besides preserved flower arrangement, I also love Ikebana, and every January I made an arrangement using Narcissus which looks like the photo on the bottom. The photo is from my Ikebana school back in Tokyo.

Paper White gives a fresh impression because of its small white blooms and long straight leaves. Since it absorbs water easliy, blooms come one after another.

Now, my house is filled with nice scent of Paper White!

  1. Hi Yuri, I love this one. It is so simple and classy! I also love your Xmas arrangements and crowns they are gorgeous. Wish you could have made my wedding bouquet, all the stuff I saw was so over the top that I ended up going for a simple white Dahlia with a couple of leaves.
