They are the extent of my porch decorating for right now. I haven't bought poinsettias for years, but found these at Home Depot for $6 each and couldn't resist. I am going to plant them in the big planter after the cold snap is over.

Aren't they just the most festive looking plants? 
Yours are gorgeous with the water beads sparkling.

Beautiful!!! I must have some for my garden. I pay about that when I get them from growers. You got a good price.

I don't know why the color changed on that second one, but it is exactly the same color as the first. The second one was sitting on the yard side of the porch in more of what light we had yesterday and had the rain on it, maybe that affected the color the camera saw.

I just love the Poinsettias. I have different colored ones to put all over the house, wish they could be real. With 2 dogs & 2 cats and them being poisonous to animals. Cant take the chances.
