2025 The #Flower Hour #10 — Festive Holiday Florals and Decor

Reflecting on

National Poinsettia Day

Yesterday, on December 12th, people celebrated National Poinsettia Day. It is an annual celebration commemorating the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett, an American diplomat that introduced the Poinsettia plant to the United States. It honours its deep ties to Christmas traditions, especially the Mexican legend of a poor girl whose humble gift of weeds bloomed into the beautiful “Flower of the Holy Night.”

Red Poinsettias

National Poinsettia Day is a day for spreading holiday cheer with the Red-leafed plants. Churches line them up in front of pulpits & many are donated by members in honor of loved ones no longer with us. Poinsettias are often given as gifts during the. Christmas holiday season.

Someone Is Missing At Christmas

Let this be a loving reminder That someone is missing today, Someone our hearts still hold on to, As we travel along life’s way. Someone who made life so special, For all those who gather here. Someone who won’t be forgotten, But cherished from year to year. And now, as we pause to remember,
Let us all fondly recall, How dearly each of us loved her, And oh…how she loved us all!
