This is a beautiful floral set called Paperwhites and its new from Flourishes. I did some research on these flowers to find out where they come from and they originated from Asia and Southern Europe. This site I found has some fabulous info on all flowers and plants. I ended up getting lost in all the stuff I found. lol I made this for the Dirty Dozen theme challenge this month Around the Compass.
I did not leave my flowers white as you can see. I actually wanted to do a red and white theme the minute I saw this set. It also gave me a chance to use some of the red and white twine that Nancy sent me a few weeks ago. Thanks Nancy. I used a few jewels and tied off the twine with a button. thanks for looking

I've only seen paperwhites in white...I love them but the scent is so sweet, I couldn't have them in the house. They are Gorgeous in red! Love the twine with the crochet ribbon.

Stac, you made me study up on these too! I love how you have colored your blooms- the white gives such depth when surrounded by the red. (Lessons...I am taking lessons...) Your lil red gems look precious nestled in that way and the "peppermint' twine is gorgeous. Love your work Girlie!
