As an checkout impulse buy at the Asian Supermarket, I bought a narcissus bulb in a water dish. I’m pretty bad at plants, I’m alright with succulents as I can propagate them faster than I can kill them and I can keep a lucky bamboo alive, so I figure I could give this narcissus a go.
I placed it behind my tea table for a more interesting background, whereas most of the background is my paper towel holder, blow torch, and tupperware containers. In a few days, it bloomed pretty white star shaped flowers with yellow middles! Interesting background indeed!
The Little Ruyao tea pet loves the narcissus!
The next day, I woke up to the plant has bloomed more flowers, and the one branch has tilted over the tea table, trying to catch the morning sun… or steal some tea as it was hovering just over a tea cup. I promptly grabbed my camera and took lots of photos!
The smell of the flowers is fantastic, prompting a couple green oolong sessions, then finishing the day with a good shou pu’er session. The next day, the flower branch went upright again. Just that one day it chased after the tea!
