Narcissus I await Thee


A Christmas 2016 gift in a tea cup from my generous and clever 92 year old friend to me. Her email to explain:

The thingy that I gave you for Christmas is a flower bulb (much like a tulip bulb). It is a Narcissus. Just add water to activate it. The white stones are to hold it in place.  After a few days, leaves should appear and later still a blossom. When it is done blooming, just throw it away.  It will not rebloom. ..   Enjoy ...   💕 ...  Helen


It's been more than a few days --- it has been MONTHS, and there is still no flower.  Others also received a bulb from her for Christmas, and theirs bloomed weeks ago. What's wrong with mine??!
