Did you know which two trees are behind the creation of Eggnog?
Nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans)
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia).
☕️ Did you know which two trees are behind the creation of Eggnog?
☕️ Eggnog is made from milk, cream, sugar, beaten eggs, and two spices: Nutmeg and Cinnamon. Both nutmeg and cinnamon come from spice trees:
Nutmeg is made from the seed of the Nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans).
🔥Cinnamon comes from the bark of the Cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia).
These spices add the classic, warming flavors that make eggnog so popular during the holiday season.

- Every one knows Christmas Orchid Cactus - Schlumbergera. But this rare variety is exceptional - it is called New Deal.
- New Deal is completely lost to the trade today, but we have it at Top Tropicals for the first time after it was originally offered for purchase at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden over 90 years ago while having a special rare plant sale on the day of the famous presidential election on November 8, 1932 when F.D.R. was historically voted in as the next American president.
- The plants we are offering are all 3rd generation vegetative propagation from an original specimen (still alive btw). Its name New Deal - is identical to President Franklin D. Roosevel main campaign slogan
- Not only is New Deal an exceptionally obscure, heirloom cultivar especially easy to grow under average house plant conditions,
- It reliably produces almost an overabundance of brilliant violet-pink and white flowers which are easily an inch larger than any other variety.
This remarkable Christmas cactus hybrid has spectacular, large-flowers and blooms twice a season.
