Living

Well, for today's word, it just had to be last year's poinsettia, because nobody is more amazed than me, that it is still alive!! Ordinarily, it is dead by February! This one has new growth, though most of it is green & not red, but, it is definitely living!

Thanks for all your comments. I really don't know how this has happened. As Phil says it must like neglect!
