I bought this paperwhite in a box as a bargain for £2; when i got it out of the box ten days ago it was a bulb and a shoot about 2" long. Here it is ten days later ~ growing in pebbles and water and 17" tall!

What is its proper name. I associate paper white with Narcissus but does not look one to me,looks tropical?

I canot get my head around how a narcissus would grow and flower that much in ten days also the paper white Narcissus I have had for years in the garden only produces one flower on a stem,confused but i like it.
googled it and yours is spot on,conclusion mine is not the same probably miss named .
