December 12 is Poinsettia Day. Although bright red poinsettias (also known as Christmas stars) are the most popular, they are actually available in a whole range of colours including apricot, maroon, creamy white, salmon, orange, pink and several other shades of red.
Today, hyacinths are so popular that it's hard to imagine these bulbs being so exclusive that only the wealthy could afford to buy them. So aren't we lucky? After all, their curly little florets add a nice bit of sparkle an colour to these gloomy months.
LZ Orchidee, known for their special Cascade Cymbidiums, is run by Leo and Trees Zwinkels. They are driven and enthusiastic growers, with growers’ blood running through their veins.
The houseplant trend for this winter is the indoor pine tree: a small conifer compared to the ones outside. A perfect sized houseplant for inside. A nice alternative to the traditional Christmas tree.
Elegant and luxurious, that’s the Ice Cascade Cymbidium. This exclusive plant owes its name to the lush 'cascade' of white flowers. A dazzling bloom to look forward to.
These days, life isn't all about tradition: roses don't have to be red, and violets aren't always blue. And if you thought green was the only colour for plants, think again because the latest thing is painted plants!
Every year we celebrate Christmas on a grand scale with gifts, the big dinner and that age-old tradition: the Christmas tree. The tree most commonly used for this is a conifer*. We call this special plant 'a Christmas tree' but it can actually be any one of many different kinds.
