Christmas is a time to celebrate, give gifts, and decorate. Gifts are traditionally given as a way of showing affection to family and friends during this time of year. When it comes to selecting a suitable Christmas gift, there is no better alternative than flowers.
Of all the Christmas gifts, flowers are by far the most sensible choice. You can easily order them, they’re affordable, exquisitely designed, and beautifully packaged, and they never fail to convey your affection. As some blooms are traditionally associated with the Christmas season, we are delighted to offer you some of our favourite Christmas flowers and plants a bit of information about them.
Poinsettia
Christmas would not be complete without poinsettias. Poinsettias have vibrant leaves known as bracts that come in red, white, and pink shades. It is generally believed that the bract in the shape of a star represents the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Wise Men to the infant Jesus. The white leaves of a poinsettia represent the purity of the Son of God, and the red leaves symbolise the blood of Christ.
Orchids
Orchids are among the most beautiful and fascinating flowers on earth. There is something awesome about these delicate-looking plants. They aren’t as fragile as they appear, and the coolest part is they bloom for months without any special care. Orchids are simply stunningly beautiful. In addition to being available in various colours and sizes, their wide variety makes them the perfect gift for people with diverse tastes. Your local florist can do Christmas flower delivery if you want to send orchids during the holidays or start your Christmas decorations with orchids.
Amaryllis
There is no doubt that the amaryllis is one of the most popular Christmas blooms. This flower’s red blooms complement traditional Christmas colours perfectly. It is also possible to find varieties with snowy white flowers, which are ideal for creating a winter wonderland effect.
Due to their large size and trumpet shape, the flowers are naturally eye-catching. A major benefit of amaryllis is that it lasts for a long time. Plants bloom for approximately 7 weeks at a time, so they’ll look stunning throughout the holidays. It is believed that Amaryllis represents strength, confidence, success, and determination in the traditional language of flowers.
Christmas cactus
In the festive season, the Christmas cactus competes with many other flowers for the crown of the most beautiful flowers. They make a great decoration for your house and, in particular, your Christmas tree. Furthermore, you can even give the plant as a gift to your loved ones on Christmas since it serves as one of the most aesthetically pleasing indoor plants. The florist can help you incorporate these flowers into your holiday arrangements.
Carnations
It is no wonder that carnations are one of the most versatile flower choices ever because of their wide range of colours and their general hardiness. This Christmas, you really can’t go wrong with red carnations, which symbolise love, admiration, and friendship. They also come in green, white, and various variegated varieties!
Red roses
It’s a Christmas classic to receive or give a bouquet of red roses. We love these beautiful flowers any time of the year, but there’s something about the Christmas season that makes them extra special. Send this bouquet as a gift to someone you care about, and then order another one for yourself. Red roses are the perfect Christmas gift for mom, your love, sister, grandma, and anyone who needs a dose of holiday cheer.
Paperwhites
During the Christmas season, paperwhite plants are among the most popular gifts. This perennial favourite is renowned for its fragrant blooms as well as its delicate and delightful flower colours. The white colour of these flowers allows them to complement any colour flower. So, this Christmas, you can order them from your nearest flower shop, and arrange them with different blooms to create the most stunning Christmas look.
