When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a boquet with the other. ~Chinese Proverb (by Arlene Pickerill)
My favourite flower: in Italian it’s also called “rose of Christmas” (particularly the white one). Otherwise, it’s called helleborus (Latin i.e. botanical name).
The simplest one is Helleborus Niger, which actually is the white and most common one; also there is the green one which is one I love, and is extremely rare, which is called Helleborus foetidus because it doesn’t “smell properly” :)
