Today is the last of the 12 days of Christmas (nope, there won’t be any singing!) and therefore the last of my seasonal poinsettia pictures.
If you observe, I hope you had a lovely winter break and that 2024 is good to you. Until next year.
Poinsettia Friday
The red poinsettia is the most commonly seen, traditional type with its brilliant leaves (the actual flower is in the centre of the red leaf clusters). The Aztecs saw the red ones as symbols of purity.
Happy last Friday of the year!
Last Friday I posted a picture of some pretty pink poinsettias and indicated that I would post a poinsettia picture every Friday for the rest of the month.
The creamy white ones are often seen grouped with the red ones as a counterpoint, but I think they look lovely on their own, too.
It’s a very busy time of year, so safe travels if you’re making a journey to family or friends. And whatever you’re doing (or not doing) this long weekend, I hope you are happy, healthy and safe.
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.
