Festive flowers for a special celebration
The joy of Christmas can be celebrated with flowers.
The eternal Christmas messages of joy, hope and love are embodied in nature's gifts of fresh flowers. Whether it’s a gift for the host of a party, a floral tribute for thanksgiving or a festive table showpiece, flowers can be at the centre of Christmas celebrations.
The traditional floral colours for Christmas will always be red, green and white, with the vibrant green spiky leaves and shiny red berries of the holly bush probably the most enduring of the festive flowers.However, as imaginations take off, other colour combinations are coming to the fore such as pink, purple and lime green.
Another extremely popular festive flower is the Christmas flower, or poinsettia which has lovely red and green pointed leaves and flowers.Poinsettias originated in Mexico, and there's a wonderful legend about this plant that illustrates the special appeal of flowers.
The legend tells of Maria, a poor peasant girl who lived in a tiny Mexican village.Like all children, she couldn't wait for the Christmas celebrations and she loved going to church for the nativity display.She really wanted to present a gift to the church but she couldn't afford anything.She was really sad about this.
When she was on her way to the church, she picked a bunch of weeds to give to the baby Jesus as a gift.She was taunted by the other children, but it didn't matter because she had done her best.However, just as she leant forward to present the gift of weeds, they were miraculously turned into beautiful red and green pointsettias. These star-like flowers, which were regarded as a symbol of purity by the ancient Aztecs in Mexico, are associated with Christmas around the world today.
This simple story illustrates the joy and beauty of flowers. An experienced florist in Perth, Ennis Flowers, suggests combining green leaves, white flowers and silver decorations such as shiny baubles, tinsel and silver stars for a sophisticated look.Green foliage such as ivy mixed with white roses looks simply stunning, or what about using a variegated foliage with gypsophila or 'baby's breath' as a stunning combination. Another suggestion is to combine non-traditional Christmas plants with decorations, such as candy canes, glass balls or other décor to make a celebratory floral display.
The Perth florist also suggests some novel ways of dressing up a Christmas dinner table with flowers.Get a set of identical containers such as glass bottles, silver boxes or even tumblers and fill with either mixed blooms or even a stunning single flower in each one.She also suggested creating an interesting display using fresh fruit such as oranges and apples together with flowers and leaves.
But if the hectic lead-up to the holiday celebrations leaves you short of time, that's no reason to have a flower-less Christmas. Stunning Christmas arrangements to suit every style and pocket are at your fingertips with online ordering and direct delivery from a florist in Perth, Ennis Flowers.
I am worried about the fate of my one time nemisis...Please help!?
Casey Culligan, the sleazy local funeral director that stole my precious white trailer trash, dyed blonde haired, toothless, tobacco chewing ex g/f has taken a turn for the worst. The doctors are baffled because he appears to have a massive rectal infection. I decided to send him a get well card due to my concerns....along with a poem
The cards shows some daisies..and when you open it--
It Says---
Spring is in full swing
Flowers are in the air
You shouldn't be putting your thing
into my precious mare
the itch that you feel
was intended for a rat
So the next time you try to steal
Just remember that
Should I add another line?? Also, should I sign it? What about the doctors, should I give them a heads up on the rat poison? Your thoughts//
Snizz I have a washing machine in my porch its the rolling kind too so cool...
anywho...Don't sign it let it be a secret admirer thang...but do add another line to make it more spicy..
I hope for the best
but expect the worse
true love only comes to nerds..
you stolen my heart
for that live like a rat..
