I'm not even much of a poinsettia fan, but our daughter is a full time florist at a local grocery store, and guess what she brought to us Christmas Eve? Yes, it had glitter on it. I need to go find your post about keeping them alive. Now that I have it, I don't want it to die right away.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-4035146076150041902008-12-22T20:22:00.000-05:002008-12-22T20:22:00.000-05:00Pretty poinsetta.

I like glitter, just not so much on plants. My snow duck ornament that I made was full of glitter though.

I can't figure out why they dust it with that stuff either. Seems like it would be a deterrent for sales because the glitter gets on everything. <BR/><BR/>I will be anxious to see if you are able to keep this one growing and happy. There was a Chinese restaurant downtown in my hometown whose owner had a gift for growing poinsettias after the holiday season. It was great! I hope you have the same luck.<BR/><BR/>CindyCindy Garber Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543940998038589239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-86236979522962951312008-12-20T12:42:00.000-05:002008-12-20T12:42:00.000-05:00poinsettias cause me mixed emotions also. and I l...poinsettias cause me mixed emotions also. and I love that jazz standard it made you think of.Wayne Stratzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607523027034143603noreply@blogger.com
