Can anyone name some Christmas plants?

I'm working on a magazine feature about Christmas-related trees, plants, flowers and berries. Here is what I have so far but I need more, so I would love to hear your ideas:


Holly


Mistletoe


Christmas trees


Poinsettia


Ivy

Can anyone name some Christmas plants?
Ilex is one. It's basically long twigs with red berries on it. There's also Christmas Cactus which has red flower sprout from it. Some christmas tree names are....Nordman Spruce, Blue Spruce (the most expensive) and Douglas Fir. Rust Amarylis is a lovely flower that alot of people put with ilex at Christmas time. I used to work in a flower shop and Christmas was always the best time of year to work there!!

Reply:Chysanthemums are also popular over the Christmas period, especially the large ones.
Reply:Christmas box or Winter box. Hellebores are also called the Christmas rose.





There are quite a few plants that flower in winter, although most flower in early spring. You could also look at plants bearing berries - some plants might be able to hang onto their berries through to Christmas.

Reply:Hi, we always have a bowl of Hyacinths at Xmas and you see many for sale in the supermarkets and garden centres, but why they force these bulbs for Xmas I have no idea. You can also find daffs and tulips. Snowdrops appear near this time as well. If you are including plants used around Xmas, poppy seed heads are popular.


Amaryllis is another plant given at Xmas.
