The poinsettia we bought last year is starting to show red leaves!! I am very happy this brave little plant survived in a pot despite my not-so-green thumb. It was indoors during the winter in a sunny place, and it was taken outside late this summer as it showed it didn't like the old place anymore.
I never had success keeping one. Yours looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteLooks the picture of glowing health.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I kept a Poinsettia for several years. Mostly it was sickly and I was striving to keep it alive. The leaves never turned for me.
ReplyDeleteLovely juxtaposition of colors!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is exciting! If I could get one of those babies to live for a 2nd season I would be ready to turn cartwheels!!! Looks like it's going to turn into a beauty too!
ReplyDeleteDH is trying to figure out how to get the one he bought me last year to have red again. I'll have to look it up online cuz he won't.
ReplyDeleteYours is beautiful!
We have tried and hoped for red leaves from the poinsettia from last Christmas, but they don't often happen. Just the tantalizing bud. But we will do so again after this Christmas. New plants, new hope. At least the red leaves continue into January...
ReplyDeleteI have bougainvilles around our garden, lol ! There are so pretty flowers here !
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty, Mar....It will be fun to see how it develops, won't it? I hope you will continue to document it for us! You know The Pointsettia is in the Euphorbia Family. Anything with that Milky White Sticky Substance is part of The Euphorbia Family...!
ReplyDeleteI think I must have killed dozens of thos in my life!
ReplyDeleteI never seem to be able to keep them alive, let alone bring them back in bloom the next year!
Yeah, sometimes one can be lucky with them. It's lovely flowers and there would be no xmas without them.
ReplyDeleteI have never been good with poinsettas and I can't keep them inside becasue of the cats.
ReplyDeleteYour plant is lovely. I really like the red just beginning to show in all that green
Pretty shots. The colors are so vibrant and wonderful.
ReplyDeletearen't they amazing?
ReplyDeletei had a poinsettia in my previous office where i duly neglected it but it would sprout the red leaves every winter. had to leave it behind when i moved...
I'm impressed Mar. That looks so healthy and I love seeing the beginning of the changeover to red.
ReplyDeletewow you must have a green thumb then! great job! mine's up too, though a bit late:)
ReplyDeleteNice! It would be perfect for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou succeeded! I love this plant, it's so Christmas! I didn't know that it was possible to keep it more than the Christmas season. I didn't manage ....until, this year, maybe. Here, we say 'La main verte'= The green hand. That's a perfect Ruby present! Thanks to share.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red on those.
