Every year after Christmas people throw out their Poinsettias and I walk down the street and pick them up and plant them in pots. Their greenery looks beautiful all year long. I have tried to force them to bloom and never had any luck. This one is doing it all on its own this year
I love them ... and this one is so gorgeous and healthy looking. I just hate throwing out plants. I feel bad doing it!! I did have one pointsiettia that did come back and bloom in time for the next Christmas (and stayed "fat and full!") Just one tho. :(
@karenann I think they are really beautiful even green. i feel the same way and often walk my street "saving" plants that others have given up on and tossed to the street!
Do you grow them outside? I know we could not do that here and I am a plant-killer from way back! I tell my friends that if they have a plant they don't want, but don't want to toss a living plant, they can give it to me and it will be dead in no time! :) I love the PoV and the colors in this!
@marilyn They are in a big pot because they have to come inside in the winter. They are a tropical plant and would die in out winter even. Thanks. I had nothing to do with that color but think it is very interesting too.
