15. December

How do you feel about poinsettias? Most of us either love them or hate them. I have to admit that I actually belong to the last group and poinsettias are one of the plants I always ignore. BUT you have to be open minded and challenge yourself once in a while.

It helps a little that they are now available in other colors than the classic letterbox red. Because I have to admit that red has never been, and probably never will be, my favorite color. There are many who try to challenge me on this, here until Christmas. You CANNOT celebrate Christmas without red, but yes - it goes very well. Which you have probably also experienced if you hold the magazine or have visited my home. There are grim slightly red and very few elves in my Christmas home.

Well, back to the poinsettias. This year I actually bought one, but it is white and has rather small flowers. It's also the size of the flowers that I don't like. The article here, which is about poinsettias, was actually very cute, I have to admit. The delicate pinks and pinks lighten things up a bit and plant them in neutral white bowls like here, the expression also changes quite a bit. We have put several together in a nice old tureen, have given them a touch of glitter spray. You can also use them in a beautiful Christmas bouquet, together with other flowers and a little fir. Find any some balls in the same color as the flowers and let them be part of your little arrangement to complete it all.
