Poinsettias, Anyone?


These pics are for you, Dad!  Wish you were with us.  They remind me of Grandma - she always had them at Christmas time.  I took Brooklyn with me to Degoede Bulb Farm. It is the place to go this time of year for Poinsettias!  Also a fabulous place to visit in the spring when tulips are at their peak.

Who knew there could be so many poinsettias in one place at a time,
 and so many different varieties?!?
It was cold outside, but inside the greenhouses it was a perfect 70°.

Can you guess which one was Boo's favorite?




Pink, white, speckled, deep burgundy red, bright red, cream . . . . . with names like Cortez Red, Feeling Pink, Sonora Jingle, Silverstar Marble, Cinnamon Star, Enduring Pink/Red, etc.
A peppermint colored one!  Probably my favorite, but we didn't get one this time.  We picked up white ones and, of course, one pink one!
