Flowers for Christmas

melinda010100 in #hive-124452 • 2 years ago

Can you guess what kind of flower this is?

I received this very unusual poinsettia as a Christmas gift from a dear friend. It almost appears to have been tie-dyed. I am really enjoying it and I love the colors. It has been painted with a mixture of dye and alcohol.

My friend's daughter works at the greenhouse where this beautiful plant art was created and I've included a video showing the process of how they paint the flowers.

I have never been terribly successful at keeping poinsettias alive for very long after Christmas, but I will do my best with this one!

That is pretty impressive! It's interesting that it doesn't damage the petals. I think I could have a ton of fun coloring them, lol!

For what it's worth; I have never been able to keep them alive either. I wonder what the secret to that is? Take care and enjoy it!

Merry Christmas! That's a very pretty bouquet of flowers. If it weren't for the video, I'd have thought that they dye the water being fed to the plants and the petals hold on to the dye. Incredibly interesting.
Good luck with keeping them alive this time ;)

I remember putting dye in the water of a stalk of celery in science class it was easy to see how the water was absorbed into the plant and its leaves.

Your Christmas party warmed my heart! That is what Christmas is all about.

It's a refreshing sight with all the different colors than the usual green and red. I never heard it being called ( Christmas Star ) before. Yes it is suitable for the time of year. I've also reblogged this. Happy New Year to everyone.

Yes, the one in the video is beautiful, I like it too.
I have to find out how you achieve it without affecting the life of the plant, I want to learn.
Congratulations to your friend.

I think they make a non toxic floral paint, but he mentioned mixing paint and alcohol.

very nice flower. But is it the so-called Christmas Star?

We call them poinsettias here, but I would imagine that they have different names in different parts of the world. Christmas Star seems like a very fitting name.

Here, they're given as gifts at Christmas and are usually red in color.

Yes, the same here. Red is most common. This was a white one before it was painted. They also come in pink.
