Name that flower

Can anyone identify the light purple flowers below the poinsettia? My sister in law got them in a basket of predominately live plants at Christmas time. I know this is not a good picture, but I hoped someone would know.

Could be Japanese Azalea's,
but this is complete guess.

Pat625: Not the best of pictures, but what a lovely flower arrangement! The colours make me happy

. I wonder if that is not a cyclamen?

Looks to me like what we in Germany call "Weihnachtsstern" = Christmas Star. Its botanical name would be "Euphorbia pulcherrima" maybe this way you can find its English name.
Looks like this one here: https://volmary.de/planthappy/weihnachtsstern/

Your link shows the poinsettia but Pat625 asks for the other flower:
