🎃Yesterday's Trivia Answer:
Hellebore (genus Helleborus), part of the buttercup family, includes the Christmas rose and Lenten rose. Valued for their beauty, they are toxic and require careful use in traditional medicine. Hellebores are among the top 8 popular Christmas flowers.

The story of Madelon, a shepherdess on Christmas Eve, highlights her encounter with the three wise men. Lacking a gift, she is visited by an angel who creates the Christmas Rose for her to present. This tale has led to the belief that the Christmas Rose has mystical powers, leading people to plant it at their homes to protect against evil spirits.
