Poinsettia

Several plants represent December birthdays, including narcissus (think forced bulbs), green hollies and the traditional Christmas potted flower, poinsettias.

Hollies show a desire for a happy home, while poinsettias stand for good cheer.

Narcissus signifies modesty and faithfulness. They are usually offered for sale this time of year as Paper White Narcissus, easy to grow from bulbs.
