POINSETTIAS, THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE FLOWER
Poinsettias, the Christmas miracle flower
Also known as the Christmas Star and Christmas Flower, the poinsettia is said that their association with Christmas comes from a Mexican legend. The story goes that a child, with no means for a grander gift, gathered humble weeds from the side of the road to place at the church alter on Christmas Eve. As the congregation witnessed a Christmas miracle, the weeds turned into a beautiful cluster of brilliant red, pink and white flowers.
While considered by the ancient Aztecs to be symbols of purity, in today's garden world, red, white or pink poinsettias, symbolize good cheer and success and are said to bring wishes of happiness and celebration. At Hueter’s Greenhouses, we carry a large variety of these Christmas miracle flowers, from 4in containers, to large hanging baskets, there are many colors and sizes to choose from that will fit your personal style.
