What's Your Point?




My point (poinsettia) is pink! Waukesha Floral has been nursing a beautiful crop of poinsettia plants since September, and now they are officially ready to be transplanted to your home, office, or given as a fabulous gift.


Featured are two different types of poinsettias. "Marble" features soft ivory brachts with pink centers. "Christmas Rose" has tight, twisty brachts that remind you of a garden rose. Sizes range from small, 1-stem plants to really big 4-stem plants. We also have a limited quantity of hanging baskets.


Get out of the cold and visit the greenhouse this season! We are open Monday-Saturday 8-5 and Sunday 10-4.

First Prize Float!


Waukesha Floral is pleased and proud to announce that our float won first place in the business division of the city's holiday parade! We hope you enjoyed it and the dancing poinsettias.

Shown on our float is our jolly elf and delivery person, Mike Vitale.

Stop at the greenhouse and see our beautiful poinsettias in person. Don't forget - free holiday photos with the poinsettias will be this Saturday and Sunday from 12 - 3. Again, Art's Cameras will be shooting the pictures and offering holiday greeting cards. Suggested donation is an item for the Waukesha Food Pantry. Barrels will be located at Waukesha Floral.

Christmas Parade

Don't forget to look for the Waukesha Floral dancing poinsettias in this year's city parade; Sunday Nov. 21st. Kick off your holiday season with this festive, light-filled celebration down our main street. Our dancing poinsettias will be local Catholic Memorial High School students who are earning a donation to their school by helping us out. See you there!

Flowers After Hours

For those of you who attended our Ladies Night, Howl at the Moon event, you know we held a raffle for a private shopping and design evening. Here are a couple pictures of our winner and her friends with the flowers they designed and took with them. They were also able to shop privately just before our holiday open house and shared a few snacks with us. We were delighted to host such gracious ladies who contributed to The Optimist Club at St. Norbert College for this raffle. They will also receive front row tickets for next year's Ladies' Night event!

Speaking of raffles, the door prize winners at the Sparkle & Shine Holiday Open House have been picked. Winners include Arlene Franklin - $75 gift card; Judy Donovan - poinsettia plant and Beth LaChance - 2 jolly elves. Thank you to everyone who attended, watched our design shows and ate a few cookies. It's the best weekend for all of us at Waukesha Floral to get into the holiday spirit!
