Red Beauty

I just never get tired of seeing these mature poinsettias in people's gardens...so pretty, and they've been there for some time. I have a feeling today's plants have been bred/hybridized/messed with to the point that they probably won't thrive like these hardier specimens. So cool!

Gorgeous. They would die outside at our house but we get them for indoors!

Ventura is the Poinsettia City and you used to see them growing all over.
