Andrewr:
It just doesn't seem fair...does it? They are pretty
inexpensive here...we have Paul Ecke Ranch here
literally next to Quail Botanical Gardens in Northern
San Diego County which is the world-leading Poinsettia
hybridizing facility. Ecke Poinsettia Ranch has practically
every size, color of Poinsettia imaginable.
David:
Yes, they do grow much faster and fuller in the ground
than in any pot.
Bonkersbon:
I am so happy for you! I look forward to seeing the plant
soon. : > )

David, i agree. It's great to see these things in their natural habitat.
Such a shame that these poor things end up in the rubbish bags of most folks homes a few days after xmas :-(((((
