Poinsettias are a Christmas Tradition!

Introduced in the United States in 1825 by Joel Poinsett, poinsettias are a Christmas tradition. It’s no mystery as to why, with poinsettias representing 85 percent of all the potted plant sales during the holiday season. They are so ingrained in the holiday season that poinsettias even have their own day – December 12th. When you think of Christmas and flowers you automatically think of the poinsettia. Don’t think that Christmas Flowers are only limited to the poinsettia, or that they are they limited to the traditional pot or vase. Have you seen a classic Christmas centerpiece gracing the table? It is tasteful and beautiful!

Even though poinsettias dominate the season, the elegant amaryllis also conjures up feelings of winter cheer and holiday spirit. Not to be hidden in the shadows of the poinsettia are other holiday favorites such as the snow rose, the gorgeous white crocus and don’t forget the gardenia, another beautiful Christmas Flower. Receiving flowers at Christmas time warms the heart. They have a way of saying I’m thinking of you! When you step into a business during the crazy holiday season and you see Christmas flowers, they make you feel good. Have you ever been the recipient of flowers at Christmas time? It is always such a nice surprise. People just gravitate towards the color and elegance, having to compliment you on the beautiful the arrangement and ask who had them delivered. If you like flowers on your birthday, you will absolutely adore them during the holidays.

Generally when you think of the florist you automatically think of flowers and floral arrangements. But gifts are only limited to the imagination.
