Euphorbia pulcherrima - beginning to show its colour for winter

beautiful colouring

Thanks Irish - they provide colour in our otherwise dull winter gardens.

Striking, is it the same family as the Ponsettia!

Wonderfully beautiful or should i say-beautifully wonderful !!Excellent.

Hi Pansypotter - this is the red poinsettia. It's just starting to show its red bracts - the flowers haven't started on it yet but they won't be far off.

Thanks Shapla - I thought I'd lost this one after a few years of drought, but the monsoonal rainfall we received at the beginning of the year must have bought it back.

Do these grow all year round in Oz, like they do in Tenerife?

Gwenvokes - yes these grow all year here, but only bloom in the winter. It's one of our few plants that adds lots of colour to our gardens in the dull winter period.
