Wow never seen Poinsettia in a garden befor

@sue1953 you're ahead of me I don't even see any sign of red on mine

Different weather maybe or just the position in the yard @errolly

Yes just the weather @sue1953 faces north so gets plenty of sun. I just had a look might be some tiny signs

Come to Australia!! ☀️☀️☀️ @jamesshobbs

I would love to its on my bucket list @brightcolours

#macro #poinsettia #foliage When I was taking this photo I did not even see the ants. There must be something nice and sweet for them to eat🐜🐜

It looks like ravenous yellow lips just waiting to gorge themselves on unsuspecting humans.

The #poinsettia is opening up now showing some #red #foliage

My two are still in its from Christmas --- I have " lost " so many when I put them in the garden . What's the secret to keeping them growing ??#sue1953

--- mine are still in POTS ! ( see above )

@whitesusan my poinsettia was taken from an established plant not the Xmas potted variety. Poinsettia are early winter bloomers in Australia. It is growing in a warm protected position along the back fence. It does get affected by the cold and wind once winter really sets in as they need a tropical climate to really thrive.

Thanks for the info #sue1953.1 will look out for a shrub variety then.🌿

New shoots growing from the base of the plant. Looking good.😊😊😊 #newgrowth #foliage #poinsettia

@drnicko Another outdoor plant here... 😉

@brightcolours 😱😱😱 nooooooooo. Anyway they look better in a cheap red/gold pot and sold by the hundreds in our supermarkets at Xmas time, only for nearly everyone to kill them around February. @sue1953 healthy looking plant - well done!

Don't worry @drnicko I also have bought the Xmas variety as well . Fool that I am.🙄🙄🙄

No red ?? --- does that depend on the light?

The poinsettia is looking nice and healthy this year . #newgrowth #poinsettia #foliage
