I had forgotten that this plant was a poinsettia until it surprised me by suddenly starting to turn red a month or so ago. Amazing how it is always in full coloration by December 25. I’ve had this plant for many years but just moved it to the front garden a few months ago and had forgotten what it was as it was totally green at that point. Now it greets me every time I leave my front door or enter by the street entrance. Come visit, and it will greet you, too!! Merry Xmas.
For Cee’s FOTD

For a poignant moment today, I considered buying another poinsettia. I’ve had NO luck growing them. They die in less than a couple of days. It doesn’t like the light — and maybe they haven’t been healthy plants from the start. Very hard to know. Yours is lovely. Mine only look that way until I bring them home.

I’ve had mine for years and years. Being in the subtropics helps, no doubt. They are both outside.

Yes, when you can grow things outside, they survive a whole lot better!

Amen. And a gardener helps, as well. I choose all plants and where everything goes. He keeps them alive.
