Poinsettias

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

We're using lots of fresh greenery around the house this Christmas.  I want to share with you a few Poinsettia varieties we liked at the local nurseries.



The two photos above are called  "Marble."  I love the pink and cream leaves.
These are located in our foyer.





The red with cream centers (above) are called "Premium Picasso." Of course I couldn't resist them due to their lovely colors and name!  These are my favorite, and I have them in our foyer, family room, and kitchen.




I only purchased one of these.  It is a "Cortez White," and I put it in the art studio.




I was intrigued with this variety.  Called "Winter Rose Red," they can be cut and placed in a vase.  Supposedly they last for weeks.  This little beauty is in our powder room.

Do you have a favorite Poinsettia variety?

Come back tomorrow for more Christmas decor.

Until next time...

Blessings!

  2. I love the vivid red ones, but I never get them because I'm always afraid they'll just die on me... I hear they're hard to take care of and don't live long...

  15. Very pretty Ricki Jill. I have seen some marble in purple and blue the other day. The first time I ever saw marble Poinsettias.

  16. I love those Premium Picassoes! Simply gorgeous. The only ones I see around this time of year are either pure white or pure red- I had no idea they varied so much! Thanks...as soon as I finish decorating the house, I'll have to hit up the local nursery for a pretty one as a centerpiece. You've inspired me to set a themed table this year. :)

  18. Those are all very beautiful, Ricki Jill. With my traditional decor and color scheme, I tend to stick to the traditional red poinsettia. A few years ago, there were a ton of the Winter Rose Reds on the market down in Yuma. I thought they were really pretty and bought a couple. Didn't see them again until today at Home Depot. Hmmm.....may have to try one of these again.

  21. These look lovely in your M-C pots. Unfortunately I can't have these plants because my cat will eat them!

  22. Lovely colors. I saw a red/ivory one at my grocery the other day. Some petals were red and others were ivory. It was so cool. I should have brought it home!
