Red and green

Looking deeply into the poinsettia plant

[Julie Ryan]

Very pretty, healthy looking plant

[Renee Salamon]

Lovely macro - my indoor poinsetta no longer has red stems. I’m wondering if the leaves will go red this winter

[Corinne C]

Nice close up with lovely colors

[Shutterbug]

The red leaves usually dominate the image, but I like this one a lot where the stems and leaves are contrasting.

[Rick Schies]

The plant looks quite well nourished

[katy]

Beautifully detailed, Kathy, I have never noticed red stems before I will have to look at mine

[amyK]

Nice composition and dof

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That petal looks like a white heart. Very pretty!

[Issi Bannerman]

My mum always said 'red and green should never be seen, except on the head of an Irish Queen'. No idea where that came from! Lovely image.

[Kathy A]

I like how you filled the frame, lovely colours too

[Casablanca]

I feel like I am a little ladybird creeping about on the leaves...

[Susan Wakely]

Great contrasting colours.

[Rob Z]

Love the colours and shapes...

[Wylie]

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

hi Kathy, would you like to look at a daily cloud and be inspired by that this week, https://www.adailycloud.com/collections/art-prints

if no clouds available then try Pareidolia

@julie Thank you Julie. It's been outside on the covered patio all summer. When I "threw" it out there, I thought it was dead. Boy did I get a surprise.
@rensala I've never noticed the red stems on any plant before. (see comments for @julie about the plant itself. I'll be interested to see if they stay red. Thanks Renee.
@corinnec Thank you Corinne.
@shutterbug49 This one has no red leaves...yet. I hope they will come as the light changes. They are in a sunroom so most nights it will be dark out there and a bit cooler. Thank you Debbie.
@digitalrn It really took off over the summer, much to my surprise. Time will tell if it will continue to thrive. Thank you Rick.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I never saw them on any plant before. Perhaps i wasn't looking close enough. I also never really had one this healthy this time of year.
@amyk Thank you Amy.
@olivetreeann I checked to see what those little white hearts are. They are new leaves emerging. Thanks Ann.
@jamibann Funny saying. There must be a reason for it. But it would sure spoil Christmas in general. Thanks Issi.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy.
@casablanca That's a fun idea Casa. Thank you.
@wakelys Thank you Sue.
@robz Thank you Rob.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie. Christmas come early?
@ziggy77 Thanks Jo.
@beverley365 Thank you Beverley.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@kali66 Sounds like a fun challenge.
