When we hear the word “Christmas”, what is it that comes to mind? Most likely, a warm, familiar feeling, scents of cinnamon, a fireplace, and if we’re lucky, the voices and faces of our loved ones.
But if we were to paint a picture of this holiday, we would definitely see the green, the red, through the Christmas trees, the poinsettias, and the amaryllises!
Christmas is inherently connected to the element of nature. While the season may urge us to stay indoors, it also has something truly magical.
We, who love flowers, have associated this sacred holiday with its flowers, representing what makes it inexplicably magical, as an opportunity to give our best selves to those in need of a smile. Christmas arrangements are defined either by traditions or the flowers of the season.
By combining them with vases and pots that highlight the personality of each flower, flowers can complete the atmosphere and make it more festive than ever!
Fir
The fir tree, the Christmas tree, is also found in arrangements, replacing the greenery and offering a striking, highly seasonal result.
Symbolism: The Christmas tree symbolizes the renewal of life and eternal life as it remains green during the winter.
Cultural Significance: The tradition of the Christmas tree originates from Germany and has spread worldwide.
Poinsettia
The poinsettia is perhaps the most beloved Christmas plant, with its impressive bract leaves in red color. It transforms any space, exuding a strong festive mood. It is a sure, safe choice for decoration, and of course, as a gift!
Symbolism: The red poinsettia is the favorite flower of Christmas and symbolizes love, joy, and happiness.
Cultural Significance: In Mexico, the day of the poinsettia (Día de la Nochebuena) is combined with Christmas and is the time when families gather to celebrate.
Amaryllis
While it doesn’t have as strong cultural significance as other Christmas flowers, the amaryllis is loved for its stunning appearance and is often used for decorating homes and spaces during the Christmas holiday period. Its large flowers make it a favorite flower for many, all year round.
