   Wow, now that’s a poinsettia! I thought they had to go through a certain light cycle in order to bloom. Surprises me that it would be possible in Florida. Will have to do some reading up on them.

      I’ve seen much smaller versions in gardens, they do drop their leaves then start the cycle all over starting with green that turn red.

      I think this gardener gives her plant tlc because this is the biggest one I have ever seen. It would be amazing to see larger ones, you are so lucky! Glad you joined us this year 🙂
