Celebrating Poinsettia Day in San Diego

In just a few days, it will be National Poinsettia Day -- December 12th to be exact. Here in San Diego, it gives us all an excuse to display some red, white, and mixed poinsettia plants around our home or business as well as send some as early Christmas gifts. In our San Diego flower shops and on our website, we have a poinsettia collection that you can order from for delivery or in-store pickup. First, we have poinsettias available in red, white, or marble based on what is on hand when placing your order. Second, these poinsettia plants can be displayed in a wide selection of containers, including baskets and woven choices, ceramic containers, and geometric design containers. Also, you can choose to buy them as a single, double, or even triple-sized poinsettia plant. Many of our poinsettia plants are also on sale! Then, we have some special holiday arrangements that include a poinsettia plant like these: HOLIDAY BASKET This holiday basket includes one red poinsettia and a white cyclamen, which are displayed with a green pothos and dieffenbachia. A plaid taffeta ribbon finishes off this special gift. CHRISTMAS CRATE This festive wooden crate includes a poinsettia, a small rosemary tree, a jade plant, and other seasonal greenery. POINSETTIA PLANTER A holiday poinsettia is combined with other seasonal green plants in a white ceramic container for a tabletop dish garden.

Today, the Ecke ranch in Encinitas, California continues to promote and grow the poinsettia plan, which has become known as a beloved symbol of Christmas.
