I like the poinsettia and Christmas rose (helleborus niger). I have a Christmas teacup and saucer with the Christmas rose, no poinsettia on mine though.
I think it is officially the lenten rose at this time of year. I forget the other latin name for this, helleborus… something. It’s one of my favourite Spring flowers. This one is from the backyard, just perfectly in bloom.
I love the Spring flowers. Here is a tulip poking up through the compost of leaves on the garden. Above that is the Christmas Rose which should be getting flowers soon. At the top is a flower carved out of wood because I love natural things made out of wood and stone. In general I just have along term love affair with stone and wood.
