poinsettia

The Christmas Flower

By Duvinca | The world, the life & me | 16 Dec 2022


Those very special days are approaching, we are excited about the decorations that we already see everywhere and the ones that we put in our homes. And in addition to the Christmas tree and many other decorations, there is also space for an impressive colorful plant, special and in high demand at this time, right?

The Poinsettia (nice name really) or Christmas Flower (Flor de Pascua also named in Spain) could not be missing, which is officially called "Euphorbia pulcherrima" surely having more names in different places and countries. What do you call her?

Those red leaves, because in reality, although they may seem so, they are not flowers but the leaves themselves that acquire that different hue, they are actually bracts, the part of the plant that protects the true flower and that sometimes is not just green like It is usually habitual and changes color. And also in recent years we have also found this "flower" in different shades from light yellow, to pink or white, some even combine all of them at once.

But looking around these days, I wanted a classic Poinsettia, deep red, big leaves, and eye-catching. That together with the rest of the plants it would give more joy to the space, because these are days of joy and plants also help us smile and feel inspired and happy.

Red announces that Christmas is coming, and nature also wants to celebrate, and you have to prepare and decorate yourself, decorate everything and not only buy this plant but also know how to take good care of it. Because it is not just a seasonal flower, it can last us much longer than the weeks of Christmas, winter here. It is delicate, it does not like extreme temperatures or many winds, but it does like the sun, always without exceeding it.

In fact they can live more time so this year I hope to keep seeing those incredible red leaves, which could well be huge velvet petals, and that it's still there reminding me that, almost any day could be Christmas, we just need to keep our hopes up and keep smiling.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for reading! Have an amazing and colorful day.
