每年的尾聲，令人期待的十二月聖誕節來臨，市面上便會出現各式各樣的松科葉材來製作聖誕花圈與聖誕樹，而今天的主角是小雛菊花藝最喜愛作為聖誕樹與花圈的葉材，名為「諾貝松」。
諾貝松，正式名稱為壯麗冷杉，學名Abies procera，屬於松科，冷杉屬，原產於北美。
諾貝松的樹型有著多支頭的分岔，像是一支支圓圓胖胖的手指頭，上頭佈滿著細細的松針，散發出淡雅清新的松脂香氣。
許多歐美國家的人們會直接砍下一棵完整的松樹或是冷杉樹帶回家，作為家中的聖誕樹，關於在聖誕節擺放聖誕樹的由來，有以下一則傳說：
據說在十六世紀德國，基督教改革家馬丁 · 路德將象徵耶穌永恆生命的長青樹帶回家中，在上方固定點燃的蠟燭，彷彿引導著東方三賢士找尋耶穌的伯利恆之星一樣明亮，爾後也造就在聖誕樹頂端擺上象徵伯利恆之星的金黃星星的傳統。
如今，聖誕樹已經成為聖誕佳節不可或缺的經典意象，以諾貝松製作的聖誕裝飾，除了還原冷杉植物原有的松科外型，也散發著宜人的松脂清香，在聖誕夜團聚的親朋好友能夠沉浸在美好的佳節氛圍中，在諾貝松芬芳的陪伴下，回首過去一年對彼此的感謝，也一同期盼與嚮往未來一年能夠繼續相伴與支持的歲月。
▌小提醒：
使用諾貝松製作花藝作品時，反覆剝除葉子有可能使手指附著諾貝松天然松脂，導致手指指腹黑黑的，建議先以酒精擦拭雙手後，再以洗手乳洗手，便能輕鬆去除油黑，順利將雙手清洗乾淨。

✿ Flower Recognition Moment ep 17 / Noble Fir
At the end of each year, the highly anticipated Christmas season arrives in December, and various types of coniferous foliage appear in the market to create Christmas wreaths and trees. Today’s spotlight is on the favorite foliage of Daisy Academy for Christmas trees and wreaths, known as “noble fir.”
The noble fir, formally known as Abies procera, belongs to the Pinaceae family, the fir genus, and is native to North America.
The noble fir has a multi-branched tree structure, resembling chubby fingers branching out in all directions, adorned with fine needles that emit a delicate and fresh pine resin fragrance.
In many European and American countries, people often cut down a complete fir or spruce tree to bring home as their Christmas tree. Regarding the origin of placing Christmas trees during the Christmas season, there is a legend from the 16th century Germany:
It is said that during the 16th century, the Protestant reformer Martin Luther brought an evergreen tree, symbolizing the eternal life of Jesus, into his home. He attached lit candles on top, reminiscent of the guiding star of the Magi, leading them to the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. This tradition later evolved to include placing a golden star, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem, at the top of the Christmas tree.
Today, the Christmas tree has become an indispensable and classic symbol of the Christmas holiday. Christmas decorations made from noble fir not only replicate the original coniferous appearance but also emanate a pleasant pine resin fragrance. During the Christmas Eve gathering of family and friends, surrounded by the delightful festive atmosphere, the companionship of noble fir creates an opportunity to reflect on gratitude for the past year and look forward to supporting each other in the coming year.
▌When using noble fir to create floral arrangements, repeated removal of leaves may cause natural pine resin to adhere to your fingertips, resulting in darkened skin. It is recommended to wipe your hands with alcohol and then wash them with soap to easily remove the resin and thoroughly clean your hands.
