    Poinsettia

    Isn't this a pretty flower? It has been blooming since Thanksgiving. I plan on planting it outside for the Summer and letting it go wild and then bringing it back into the greenhouse in the Fall. I do that with many poinsettias and other plants.

    Never seen a speckled one before.
    I need to try to keep one of those alive sometime. I just never think of buying one at Christmas.

    Once it gets larger i will take clippings of it. I wonder if the flowers on the clippings will look like that?
