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.

This is the beautiful poinsettia plant that Yolanda and Yoli and Emi and Santiago brought to me on Friday.

Paciano trimmed back all the greenery behind my planter, cutting off all the leaves and flowers right before my house tour! Yikes. The bougainvillea were trailing down over this stone planter and were so pretty. So, I planted this Poinsettia to hide the damage.

I can always tell that Christmas is coming up when my poinsettias start blooming. These are just in first bloom. Click on photos to enlarge.

Not only do the poinsettias insist on continuing to flourish, but we forgot to put the Tarahumara creche figures away as well. We are still enjoying their company on Valentine’s Day.

In Mexico, poinsettias don’t go away just because Christmas does.
