paperwhite

Indoor forcing flower

Paperwhite is a variety of narcissus that blooms indoors in winter, producing clusters of small, fragrant white flowers.

Unlike most bulbs, paperwhites don't require a cold period before forcing, making them popular for holiday displays: She set paperwhite bulbs in a dish of pebbles and water.

Paperwhite is also a line of Amazon's Kindle e-readers, named for their paper-like display.
