I love it! This is winter there isn't it. Too hard to demonstrate the light period these need to color up here. Wonderful.

Interesting is to say they bloom during winter and then back again early December, so you can see them around as Christmas decoration :)

Does this one do this outside in December? Most here distributed for christmas are forced into color through blanketing them and giving a 6 week treatment of perfect artificial light to get it started. They require short days to color up I thought.

Yep, they grow everywhere by Christmas... is amazing to see them competing with the blue of hydrangeas...
I guess I shall find sometime to drive to hills next December and take some pictures :o)
