The peony is outrageously beautiful in bloom with the fattest, most scrumptious flowers and lush green lobed foliage. Enjoy breathtaking flowers from spring to summer. Peonies are perennials that come back every year to take your breath away. In fact, the plants may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for at least 100 years. There are six peony flower types to choose from: anemonesingleJapanesesemi-doubledouble, and bomb. Fragrances vary as well—some plants such as ‘Festiva Maxima’ and ‘Duchesse de Nemours’ have intoxicating rose-like scents while others are lemony or have no scent at all. After its stunning bloom, the peony’s bushy clump of handsome glossy green leaves lasts all summer, and then turns purplish-red or gold in the fall, as stately and dignified as any flowering shrub.

Poinsettia/ Euphorbia pulcherrima 

It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Robert Poinsett , the first United States minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s. Poinsettias are shrubs or small trees, with heights of 0.6 to 4 m (2.0 to 13.1 ft). Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically reaching a height of 0.6–4 metres (2–13 ft). The plant bears dark green dentate  leaves that measure 7–16 centimetres (2.8–6.3 in) in length. The colored bracts which are normally flaming red, with cultivars being orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled—are often mistaken for flower Petals  because of their groupings and colors, but are actually leaves.The colors of the bracts are created through Photoperiodism , meaning that they require darkness (at least fourteen hours at a time for 6–8 weeks in a row) to change color. The plants also require abundant light during the day for the brightest color.
