I have two stems of fully opened blossoms and they are nice and upright like soldiers standing at attention. I am so happy they aren't drooping and don't need staking.
My Grandma Harriet had a trick for stunting the growth of Paperwhites, so they wouldn't stretch so high that they'd tip over.... she fed them a spot o' Gin. :)
Gorgeous! Mine in the garden are just beginning to bloom. As long as we don't get a hard freeze they'll be ok. PS: Oh, yeah, I live just north of Houston, TX in case you were wondering.

Don't you find the "aroma" of paperrwhites a bit off-putting?
