I had no idea poinsettias came in so many colors. When I was a kid in California they used to grow wild by our house, and I heard that they are poisonous.
i like the classic red ones!
this morning I woke up to snow on the ground . Every thing is covered and it's quite pretty out, but alas no more flowers blooming. I do love poinsettias and often have them here for Christmas. It's early days yet but maybe this year, I need to get one early. They are so bright and beautiful!
Oh my, i have never seen them in any color but red and white. They are beautiful tho, in any color, and speak 'Christmas' to me.
Red just looks more like Christmas.
Now I don't think I've ever seen colored ones - I've just seen white and red. Sandie
I too didn't realize they came in so many colors! I've only seen the white and red ones. I think the purple is real pretty though! My favorite would be the red.
betty
I had no idea that poinsettias came in blue or purple! I love the red ones best.
Hard to believe snow has arrived in so many places. Just lots of dreary rain & darkness in the NW today.
Last year I bought a new variety called Candy Cane.It was snowy white leaves with various shades of red & pink splatter design - very festive. I guess I am more of a traditionalist since I like the reds the best. Blue & purple just seem soooo wrong to me. I think California supplies most of the poinsettias in the USA.
Hands down RED! And I do not know why.
Good info with the great shots also.
Stay warm, we finally made it to Florida, well just inside at the Suwannee River....
I had never seen them in anything other than red or green.
I've never seen purple ones, but they are pretty. I received a beautiful white poinsettia last year and it was lovely.
We had snow flurries this morning, but happily it didn't stick.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that the poinsettias come in different colors! Purple is my favorite color and it's beautiful, but I have to say that the RED one makes my heart sing. I didn't realize the story behind the poinsettia. Thanks for sharing. I am really getting into the Christmas spirit.

I am old fashioned, red is mine.
I only like the red...and have fake because of my dog! My parents live in AZ and have them in their yard...I would love that! Have a wonderful week!
Ok, where have I been that I didn't know Poinsettias come in PURPLE!?!
Must have......
I like red for Christmas and later in the winter the white. I have snow envy!!! It was very cold here then warmed up. Hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving!
They can hybridize them until they're blue and purple but RED is the color of the pointsettia!!
Good Morning Taryterre!
Just checking to see if you have a new post up. I'm going Christmas shopping this morning, and getting ready to deal with the crowds - YIKES!
Have a nice day.
Love,
~Sheri
