🌸 Meet the “Belles of the South” — Camellias! 🌸
These beauties originated in Southeast Asia and symbolize appreciation and admiration in Japan.

Here in Lower Alabama, we love camellias for their stunning red, pink, and variegated blooms that brighten our yards from fall through spring. They’re so adored that Camellia japonica became Alabama’s state flower back in 1959!

Camellias love:
🍃 Partial shade
🌱 Acidic soil
💧 Less water as they mature
✂️ A light prune after they finish blooming

Whether they’re a bush, hedge, or shaped into a small tree — enjoy their evergreen charm and show-stopping flowers all season long! 🌺

🎄🌺 Poinsettias: The Plant of the Holidays! 🌺🎄
Did you know the University of Florida estimates 70 million poinsettias are sold each holiday season? These festive plants (Euphorbia pulcherrima) were introduced to the U.S. in the 1820s by Joel Roberts Poinsett, the U.S. Minister to Mexico.

While most people think of the classic velvety red leaves, poinsettias actually come in a variety of colors!

Care tips to keep yours looking great:
💧 Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry
🪴 Make sure the pot has drainage holes
☀️ Bright, indirect light is best
🌡️ Keep temps between 60–75°F
🚫 Avoid drafty areas

✨ With proper care, your poinsettia can even rebloom next year!
