Most people think of red poinsettias for holiday decorations.
However over the past few years we have seen new colors -white, pink and variegated. The Winter Rose poinsettia has become particularly popular this year. It took 30 years of breeding research for Paul Ecke Ranch in California to bring the curly, dark red poinsettia to the industry. However there are many other flowering plants available in florist shops, supermarkets, garden centers, and greenhouses during the holidays. By carefully selecting and properly caring for these plants, you can ensure color throughout the holidays.
