Use Convenient Blog Discounts to Purchase our Fresh Poinsettia Plants for Hanukkah and Poinsettia Day!

Veldkamp's Flowers We offer fresh Poinsettia Plants for Hanukkah and Poinsettia Day! Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrated in December. A fast that occurs for eight days, it commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Flowers are used to decorate the Chuppah, which is a wedding canopy, and a Menorah is lit to symbolize the miracle of oil lasting eight days instead of one. The most commonly used flowers are Poinsettias, which are often used on Hanukkah to commemorate the victory of Judah Maccabee over Syria and its king Antiochus IV Epiphanes.   SPECIAL DISCOUNT COUPONS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE       Poinsettia Day Poinsettia Day will be celebrated on December 12th which is the traditional day. The International Society of Poinsettia Growers (ISPG) was formed to promote the cultivation and marketing of poinsettias in North America and has grown into an international organization with members from around the world. It has a website with information about poinsettias as well as their annual convention held each year at different locations across North America where growers come together for business meetings and educational workshops that focus on topics related to growing these plants successfully in different climates around globe such as Hawaii or Florida versus California where most people think they only grow outdoors. However, actually it has been determined that Poinsettias do better indoors under lights year round if conditions permit it such as being able to keep temperatures above 55 degrees Fahrenheit while also providing enough light so they can produce flowers every day during spring/summer months when days are longer than nights so there is no need worrying about having plenty sunlight anymore like old days when people used grow them outdoors then bring inside when autumn comes around because too cold outside nowadays anyway due climate change affecting weather patterns worldwide. To keep your poinsettia looking beautiful throughout the season, you should know how long to keep your Hanukkah plant outside before bringing it back inside. Below are some tips: Bring it back inside before the first frost. Keep it in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from drafts and heaters. Do not put your poinsettia near a fireplace or wood stove, as they can dry out your plant quickly and cause damage to its leaves (the same goes for placing it near an open window). Make sure that all pets--especially cats! stay away from your poinsettia! This is because cats love eating plants; if they get their paws on yours, you may not have anything left by Christmas Eve! Also make sure children do not play with or touch your holiday bloomer; this will also prevent any accidents from occurring during the holidays when everyone is rushing around trying to find last-minute gifts for loved ones! If you want to keep your poinsettia healthy and fresh, do not forget to water it. You should also check the soil every few days and replace

It is observed annually on November 11 and was originally called Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, which occurred on November 11, 1918. The day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 by an act of Congress after it was discovered that there were no longer any veterans alive from World War I who could be honored with an observance at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C. Since then, Veterans Day has become a time for Americans to pay homage not only to their own personal veterans but also those who died in service or are still living today as well as those who are still fighting on the front lines. The day is also a chance for Americans to honor those who have served in the U.S. armed forces since its founding in 1775, and it is a time when many people visit cemeteries where their loved ones are buried or attend ceremonies at military bases around the country.  It is not just about the veterans.

History of Halloween Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated on the night of 31 October. It has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was held on this date in honor of the dead. The Celts believed that on 1 November (the beginning of winter) their spirits would travel across an invisible boundary into our world and wreak havoc on humans who were still alive; therefore, they carved faces into turnips or potatoes to scare away these evil spirits. Today's Halloween traditions are thought to have been influenced by these practices: trick-or-treating for candy takes place at night because it was safer than during daytime hours; jack o'lanterns were originally carved from turnips or potatoes so people could see them better at night; bobbing for apples originated when children dipped their heads into tubs full of water while attempting to grab apples floating there--just like how ghosts can't cross running water! Halloween is a day of celebration for witches and other magic-users. It's also the time when ghosts and spirits are believed to be able to walk through our world freely! On Halloween, many people dress up in costumes to look like scary creatures or evil spirits--some even go so far as to disguise their voices with helium so they sound high pitched. This is done in order to scare people and have fun! In the United States, Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and is a day when children dress up in costumes and go door to door trick-or-treating. This holiday has
