or on the mantel above your fireplace.
The best tropical flowers

flowers, Anthurium plants, and the Christmas cactus. If your
schedule is busy during the holidays, cut down the time you spend on
plant care and maintenance by purchasing tropical silk flowers.
Tropical
Christmas Flower Favorites
Poinsettia Plant
Poinsettias
are a popular Christmas plant because, when chosen

carefully, they will
last through the holiday season (November through December).
The
colorful, flower-like “blooms” of Poinsettias are made up of bracts
(modified leaves). The actual flowers are the small yellow blossoms in
the center of the bracts.
The most common color of the
Poinsettia is a brilliant red; however, breeders of this plant have
produced cultivars resulting in a variety of colors, such as white,
pink, yellow, peach. Some cultivars are marbled, or speckled in
appearance.
Amaryllis Flower
Potted
Amaryllis bulbs are a popular holiday gift because they are
inexpensive, easy to grow indoors, and are available in a variety of
colors, shapes, and sizes during the Christmas season.
You
can buy Amaryllis bulbs from online or mail order bulb suppliers, or at
your local nursery or garden center. They are available in
pre-packaged kits (ideal for gift-giving), or you can purchase
individual bulbs. Flowers are available in a variety of sizes
and
vibrant colors, such as bold red, elegant white, and exotic
pink.
Anthurium Plant
Anthurium
flowers (also called as Flamingo Flower and Tailflower) are popular
houseplants, and a favorite addition to tropical Christmas flower
arrangements. You can buy tropical Anthurium plants online,
or at
home and garden centers. They are usually potted in 5 - 8
inch
containers, and are available in a variety of colors, such as red,
white, pink, orange, and green.
Christmas Cactus
The
Christmas cactus, also known as Orchid cactus, is another
winter-flowering plant given as a Christmas gift during the
holidays. This popular houseplant is native to
Brazil. The flowers bloom in winter, and are
available in a
wide variety of colors including red, purple, orange, pink, fuchsia,
and cream.
