Not your mother's poinsettias!


There are so many new varieties of poinsettias, that I offer this, a cool video on the poinsettia trials at the University of Florida:

The two pictured above were at the US Botanic Gardens in Washington, DC, a place all "plantophiles" must visit! My pod cast this week is on poinsettia care and how to get that poinsettia to re-bloom next year. Just click on the podbean button on the left.
Happy gardening!
