The Holly and the Paperwhite are two separate birth flowers that bloom in December. These flowers appear to be very different from one another. The first is a bulb flower, and the second is an evergreen flower. On the other hand, both flowers are associated with hope.
The Holly flower represents a wish for eternal joy, happiness, and love. Although some animals enjoy eating the bright red holly berries, they are toxic to humans. As a result, despite their appealing appearance, people should avoid eating them. The good news is that Holly plants are deer resistant. Because deer prefer not to eat Holly, they tend to avoid gardens that grow it. As a result, many people grow this plant to keep deer at bay.
The Paperwhite is the other flower that blooms in December. This flower is used to request that a loved one remain exactly as they are. The Paperwhite is related to the daffodil in the genus Narcissus. The Paperwhite is a winter-growing variety of this genus. As a result, it is also one of the birth flowers for December. Its beautiful, white, streamlined format represents hope and purity. Both of these flowers can be found in abundance during the month of December.
