Things are a bit upside down this year: Due likely to the bitter cold earlier in December, my Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide' aren't blooming for their namesake holiday.
In consolation, I give you... the Christmas Clivia miniata!
It may not be strictly "seasonal" coloring, but I love the intense orange of the flower backed by the deep, lush green of its foliage.
Whichever flower does it for your holiday, and whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope it will be a peaceful and rewarding day for you. Merry Christmas to all!
