Thanks! For some reason the Poinsettias in this ares of Balboa Park bloom for a long time, sometimes well into June (which is unusual). I still see many large shrubs in my neighborhood still blooming, though,

Poinsettias do not make good house plants. They love to be planted outside in the ground.
