  • Five Popular Plants and Flowers for Christmas
    Five popular plants and flowers for Christmas Posted by TBN_Admin On 12/17/2014 By: P K Martin The Christmas holiday is a time of beauty and cheerfulness and nothing symbolizes these two qualities as well as flowers. Several Christmas flowers and plants are available today which can be sent out to your loved ones to wish them "Merry X-Mas!" in a traditional and different style. Of course you can use all the latest technologies for sending out wishes within a few minutes, but for people you care the most there's no better way to show your love and care except Christmas flowers. So in this article we try to take a look at 5 such plants and flowers: Poinsettia: This is perhaps the most recognizable flower of Christmas. Originally they're green and bright red leaves but today they're sold in several patterns and colors. Originally they grow either in white, pink or red color, but today florists dye them in different colors and even add sparkles for making them more visually compelling. Amaryllis: Another popular Christmas plant is Amaryllis. This tall, graceful and beautiful flower bulb with its huge trumpet like flowers looks like a beautiful centerpiece for the table. Its beauty seems harking the Christmas holidays. Basically the red varieties of this flower are sold for holidays; but they come in several different colors from red to white to pink to orange and also in a wide variety of patterns like solid, stripped or speckled. Christmas Cactus: This is my favorite plant for Christmas.

  • The Local Landscape Architect
    JEFF STAPLETON, THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT PLANTS FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS With the writing of this column we are fast approaching Christmas…the second holiest day on the Christian calendar when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many of our Christmas traditions stretch back over centuries, even millennia, including our use of plants. So, in honor of the season, this extended holiday column is going to focus on some plants that we commonly find in our Christmas decorations…indoors and out. Now, as with all lists, I will assuredly leave out plants with a rich Christmas tradition of their own. That being said, it’s hard to imagine Christmas without seeing the plants below in some shape or fashion, so let’s get started. Boxwood: “American” boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) first made its way to Virginia soon after British colonization, when “Virginia” encompassed all of North America. It is no wonder boxwood is so prominent during the holiday then, considering its Christmas tradition in the Commonwealth stretches back four centuries. Boxwood has numerous uses for Christmas decorations inside the home and in the landscape. Pyramidal cultivars or clipped topiaries make wonderful live Christmas trees in the garden, and the sturdy foliage of Buxus easily supports small lights. Boxwoods readily supply greenery for fresh Christmas decorations, including garlands and wreaths, but my favorite boxwood decorations for Christmas are kissing balls and table trees. Table trees are, well, small Christmas trees constructed of boxwood clippings. Kissing balls are small spheres formed out of boxwood leaves and typically hung over interior archways or openings.

  • Gift That Will Last December 24, 2017 Christmas Eve
    A Gift That Will Last December 24, 2017 Christmas Eve If you take a look around the sanctuary or have someone describe it to you, you might notice something. Or rather, you might notice the absence of something. Something that you would find in most other churches this time of year. We do not have poinsettias. Now, this is not because we didn’t get our order in on time. This is on purpose! Back around Palm Sunday, a few of us got talking about the ecological impact of ordering palms. Even the sustainably harvested ones we get from co-op owned growers have to be shipped first from Mexico or Central America to a supplier in Minnesota, then get repackaged and shipped all the way here to Massachusetts. Whatever environmental brownie points we scored from going with eco palms seems to get cancelled out pretty quickly by all that shipping. Plus, the palms only last a few days, then they become compost or trash. They just don’t last. So we started thinking about what we could do for Christmas flowers. For years, like so many churches, we ordered those beautiful, bright red poinsettias. We’d keep them alive long enough to have them adorning the church for Christmas Eve, then we’d try to track down everyone who bought them so they could take them home to shrivel and wilt, because — unless you have your own greenhouse — the life expectancy of a poinsettia in New England is disappointingly brief. Plus, we have a lot of cat owners here, and a poinsettia snack could make a cat’s life expectancy disappointingly briefer.

The red foliage is actually a bract, a specialized leaf that surrounds a flower. In this case, the flower consists of those somewhat inconspicuous little, yellow, bulbous structures at the tip of the plant.
