Euphorbia pulcherrima - Poinsettia

Just beautiful.

wow what a picture.....................

Thanks Eggbox. I just love the little flowers on these plants - they're so weird.

Great Pic Bernieh

Lovely colour

Thanks Mushy - I do prefer the pink ones.

Thanks Marguerite - they're a great plant.

Stunning, always associate them with Christmas as I use them to decorate the conservatory!

Pansypotter - over here we regard them as winter colour. They first bloom in winter - June to August - and then go on blooming into spring. They're not blooming at Christmas time here.

Dosent really matter when they bloom the beauty and structure can be admired anytime/!

stunning

Beautiful looks like a boquet of flowers.

hi wow fabtastic i want one were do i get one.

Not sure where you'd get one there, Shazzza. They're more likely to be sold around Christmas time in your part of the world.

I missed this first time around Bernieh. That is a good clear picture showing the tiny flowers very well. Tugbrethil posted a blog yesterday wondering what experiences of the longlevity of the different coloured bracts was for Goyers. Is this a house plant or does it grow outdoors for you?

Scotsgran, I grow my Euphorbia pulcherrimas outdoors. This particular one blooms and show bracts for a couple of months from mid to end of winter through to spring. This is a dwarf variety and it's a fantastic hardy plant for the dry tropics.

Thank you for your reply. It is interesting to know what grows where in the world. My latest buys are still in a piece thank goodness. The bracts on our house plants tend to last a lot longer than the leaves. The flowers seem to not come to much and are not noticed when they stop blooming because they are so insignificant.
