Designing with poinsettias

I am sprucing up the house for the holidays.
 
Nothing says Christmas more than poinsettias.  I love white poinsettias. They are not actually white, but a lime green color which I love. My love for this color began with lime-light hydrangeas, which I cannot plant enough of in my garden.

Side table arrangement made with succulents, white poinsettia, green proteas, nandina berries and English ivy.

Here on the dining table, I used white poinsettias with other small potted plants to make my arrangement last throughout the holiday season.

At the entrance table, the arrangement was made with white poinsettias, English ivy and small flowering kalanchoes plants. Mr. Ducky is all dressed up to greet holiday visitors.


The front porch urn is arranged with poinsettias, succulents and kalanchoes.

  
Here on the side table, a single poinsettia is placed in a decorative container along with Santa.
