Such a mass of red at the garden centre - I just love the red poinsettias - so Christmassy, but will not buy mine till nearer to Christmas to make sure it will survive the festive season in the warmth of the home!
NB - nice viewed on black!!!
Lovely capture and framing. I bought some small ones for table centres, but already one is looking poorly. I have them in the conservatory, but maybe the don't like the cold!
@carole_sandford I was thinking of you when I took this photo! You have done so well -- I have never achieved many months into the new year before ot completely sheds all its leaves - Shall buy mine nearer Christmas- especially as the ch is full blast on! (I am afraid I do have to have heat to survive in spite of the cost!)
Poinsettia sheds leaves because it does not like wind and big difference in temperature (warm car - cold weather out of car - warmth of home). At first try put the plant at lower temperature.
@vesna0210 Thanks Verna, I do believe in this and bringing the plant into the warm house does not agree with them! Dometimes the damage is done before you buy it!
