Do you want to Buy Christmas Flowers this year instead of reusing the plastic ones from last year? Good idea!

Don't get me wrong, I love the value of those plastic decorations, but if you want a look that is both elegant and natural, you will have to get some real flowers.

Many legends exist about the origin of the poinsettia, but one fact is this: The name Poinsettia is derived from Joel R. Poinsett, U.S. ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the plant to America in 1828. I think it's interesting that the flower that represents a season of peace was introduces by an ambassador, someone whose job it is to ensure peaceful relations among countries.
