Description
And a softness came from the starlight and filled me to the bone
~ William Butler Yeats
* ----------------------- *
Narcissus papyraceus (paperwhite)
Family : Amaryllidaceae
This strongly scented perennial bulb which we enjoy indoors during the Christmas holiday season and the wintertime, and which comes up outdoors in the springtime, is native to the Mediterranean region.
I had taken an image of paperwhites in natural light, and realized after I had taken it that I had made a mistake: I had taken it with an incorrect setting. I fixed that, took another. Yet when the results of both were compared, I preferred The Mistake .... which is posted here.
