White Poinsettia
Euphorbia pulcherrima cv.
(yoo-FOR-bee-uh)
(pul-KAIR-ih-muh)
It is a little early but a
couple of the nurseries/growers we went last week had Christmas decorations out
for sale. My initial reaction was one of dismay but the sales people said a lot
of professionals were already looking for stuff. With some creative, popular
items you have to act fast these days so I guess I understand.
This poinsettia is from a 4-megapixel
camera. It was for its time an amazing device to me. One grower had literally a
sea of Poinsettias growing but none were this far advanced. I know they raise a
crop of ‘Early Red’ for the early bird crowd. It was a nice sight to see their
massive mum crop just coming into color.
The weather here has been
terrible, it reminds me of living in England. :lol: Good planting/transplanting
weather but that is about it. Since the nights have been getting kind of cool
we brought in some of the most tender greenhouse plants yesterday. I think
there is going to be a frost warning for interior Connecticut Sunday night and
that is just too close for comfort so the rare and really tropical stuff is
under glass now.
