Every Friday for the next month I am going to post a poinsettia photo; after all, even if you don’t celebrate any of the December observances, they are a lovely bright spot in a usually cold, gloomy weather period!
I’ve seen many types of poinsettias before, but not this particular variant. They are indeed rather “sparkly” and the name is very appropriate.
Happy Friday.

I have had red poinsettia before. But I never knew there were other colours.

Typically, I’ve seen light pink all the way to the traditional red as well as white and light green, too. The one pictured is a variegated pink and green, which I hadn’t seen before, either. Hybridisers are always working on creating new poinsettia colours, though.

A fine looking flower. Maybe this color is the result of horticultural engineering.

I think this is definitely the product of hybridisation, Neil. Very pretty.

I haven’t seen this shade before, either. “December observances”–what a great summative category for all the December holidays.

Thank you very much, Jacqui. I was casting about for an inclusionary term and that’s the one that came up. Cheers.

When I worked, I would always bring one home from the office and they did provide a bright spot of colour in the dull winter. Happy Friday Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan.
I’ve always liked that, but then again that’s why we like strings of lights and sparkly and twinkly decorated trees, isn’t it? Quite elemental to want to throw off the darkness and cold.

Like Liz, I didn’t know there were so many types of poinsettias. I only knew of red and white. I like these pink ones.

I’ve seen lots of different varieties including the pink ones and the red/white variegated ones, but the pink/green is a new one. Very pretty and lovely for this time of year.

They are pretty things but, hard to keep alive.

Yes, they sure are. Their colours are dependent on 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, so I find they tend to start deteriorating after they’re removed from that environment.

Yes; they’re very pretty in their party pink! I’m sure I hadn’t seen this pink/green combo before either. Cheers.
