A Charlie Brown Poinsettia
The thing about poinsettias is that they tend to overstay their welcome. We swore that wouldn't happen this year.
But, sometimes it's hard to know the right time to pull the plug. We may be getting close on this one. What do you think?
Nah. It's got plenty of life left in it.
you can keep them growing
That would be the "you" who can keep a live plant alive, and not the "you" who can't keep an artificial plant looking healthy. That last "you" is us.

Posted by: Bleu at January 11, 2008 01:12 PMI've got one looks just like that. Right down to the pot.
Posted by: Donna B. at January 11, 2008 03:57 PMI think I'm going to file a complaint with Poinsettias International. This is horrendous, even though Christmas is 11 days past. It is obvious you and YLB have spent more time perusing old 8 tracks than investing good conversational time in your poinsettia. ;)

The poinsettia sleeps with the fishes.

Seriously, even when they've lost the lush holiday colors, you can keep them growing throughout the year, with the promise of returned glory. Midland County's Extension Agent could tell you how, or a Texas Master Gardener, if you know one ..... also, information online.
