common flowers at Christmas

Hi everybody out there, I need to ask an apologize if I keep on writing about Christmas in my blog. I am thinking that since it's December and I have more things to tell you about Christmas here in Sweden. This is my easiest way to inform my family and friends in order to update my life here abroad.



I am deeply impressed since people here show their compassion on Christmas. Asides from the Christmas light as remarkable during Christmas. Here we have Christmas flowers that most families have at home during Christmas . Swedish people are always fascinates with flowers. I am thankful for that because it gives me much more idea about different kinds of flowers that I've never seen in my life before.










































Euphorbia pulcherrima or we called it "Julstjärna" in Swedish is one of the common potted plants during Christmas here. I used to have it in my kitchen window and other parts of the house. I have it for the following month even if the Christmas is passed by. But this kind of flower have different color that you can choose between white and red.

Another flower that is popular here on this high season is "Christmas hyacint". I got it the day before Christmas from my mother in law and I did my own flower design arrangement. The flower was not yet blooming when we bought it. The day last 24Th I saw that the flowers are open a little bit. Today it looks like this as you see in the picture. The flowers itself have sweet smelling and have different colors such as blue,violet,white and red. This kind of potted plant last about 12 to 15 days.

I placed it our side table in the living room.
