Beautiful Holiday Poinsettias

Many of us associate the beautiful Poinsettia plant with the holiday season. The plant has an interesting history and uses. The Poinsettia plant is native to Central America and flowers during the winter in an area of southern Mexico. The ancient Aztecs called them 'cuetlaxochitl' and had several uses for them. They used the flowers (which are actually special types of leaves called bracts) to make a purple dye for clothes and cosmetics. They also used the white latex sap from the plant as a medicine to treat fevers. 

We know about poinsettias today largely due to the first ambassador from the U.S. to Mexico. In 1825 Joel Roberts Poinsett (that's why we call them Poinsettias) brought some plants back to his greenhouses in South Carolina. He began growing them and sending them to friends and botanists. These friends shared and sold the plant and their popularity grew quickly. Their cheerful and festive colours bring us joy during the winter months and the holiday season. 

Bloomex provides amazing prices on beautiful Poinsettia plants this season, with four arrangements to choose from. Order now to brighten your holiday table or to send some cheer. These long-lasting hearty plants make an excellent gift!

Flowers and Gifts to Support the Movember Foundation

Bloomex is proud to announce their support for the Movember Foundation with the creation of a special Movember Collection of flowers and gift baskets.

November has become known as "Movember" in many countries around the world. The Movember Foundation is the leading global organization committed to changing the face of men’s health. To date the Movember community has raised $574 million and funded over 800 programs in 21 countries. This work is saving and improving the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health issues.

The Movember Foundation seeks to improve men's health in several ways, including reduced mortality from prostate, testicular cancer and men’s suicide, promoting mental health education and help initiatives for men and boys, and improved lifestyle for those men currently living with cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers). It is the 3rd leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada.




In Canada, Movember funding has raised almost $10.5 million to date. Every dollar raised makes a difference. Bloomex is proud to support this initiative by donating a portion of each sale in their new Movember Collection directly to the Movember Foundation. Bloomex hopes that with public support it can raise a significant donation for this important men's health campaign.

It consists of two beautiful blue-and-white themed flower bouquets and two delicious gourmet gift baskets containing items such as coffee, beer, nuts and other popular snack items.
