Dayton Florist The Best Holiday Flowers

Christmas floral arrangements are specific to the holiday season

, and apart from the Christmas tree they are one of the few organic items that indicate the holidays are here once more. Christmas flower arrangements bring the soft gentle fragrance of the holiday season into your home. There are several types to select from and each has an unique story of it's own.

The poinsettia's Mexican begins tell of a little boy who wanted to take a special flower to church, and all he could find were weeds by the road. The European history of ivy and mistletoe is equally enchanting. Holly is said to bring luck, mistletoe love and good fortune, the poinsettia is said to represent belief, and the yule log (not a flower but a traditional holiday item) was supposed to ward off evil spirits.

Christmas is a special time of year and Christmas flowers simply make the season more enjoyable. Some seasonal flowers last longer than others, and choosing them for beauty or longevity (or both) requires some information, as well as the ability to care properly for them during the holiday season.

Poinsettia plants a Christmas favorite can last weeks past the actual Christmas holiday when cared for correctly, of course, cut Christmas flowers will likely last a week or so with care. Remember, at Christmas the air is usually drier and cut flowers may need more water than normal.

Also, you are probably not the only person thinking of sending flowers this Christmas season so plan accordingly. Make arrangements with your local florist to have your Christmas arrangement is ready for collection or delivery when you need them.

Your local flower shop will have a wonderful assortment of collectable containers to place floral arrangements in, as well as collectable decorations that can be added to the arrangement to make it special. Another ideal holiday gift could be a fruit basket or a fruit and gourmet basket or hamper, which will include assorted fruits and gourmet items such as meats, cheeses, cookies, crackers, tea, candy and dried fruit and nuts.

A little planning this holiday season goes along way, and ensures a beautiful yuletide flower arrangement will be ready for you and your guests. If you have questions about the best flowers to select, or you wonder how best to care for your Christmas plants remember to contact your preferred florist -- but don't leave it too late. Merry Christmas!
