Balcony's Garden

Poinsettia

A plant left by a friend after he left us. It now grows in the kitchen.
I found this page very interesting. It has information on how to get them to flower successfully year after year.

On another page I found the place where they grow about 70% of all Poinsettias grown in the world! It also shows the many different coloured varieties that are now produced.

Not grown these plants during the last couple of years.
