Has anyone else seen the new types of Poinsettias that have come on the market this year? They are quite stunning. I was lucky enough to be given this one last night.
I was told they are Euphorbia hybrids referred to as 'Princettia'. Here is an article. http://www.greenhousegrower.co...
I will definitely place the plant in my landscape after the Holidays!
That is a really beautiful Poinsettia, Hetty. All I see available in grocery and big-box stores are the typical ones. I will keep an eye out for some like this. We always just "trash" the plants after the holidays, but love to have groupings of them to add color to the house.

My local nursery were getting them in today. I only saw them wrapped in the clear package. I thought they looked different and thought they were just dyed to look different. I will go back tomorrow and see what they want for them.
This nursery get unusual plants because they are in the FTD group and make specialty plant gift baskets for delivery. They sell their extra plants in the houseplant area that they do not use in the baskets.
Thank you, that was one plant in a large basket with the maidenhair fern planted around the edges. , I don't buy plants I consider "throw aways" anymore and it is too much trouble to keep poinsettias from year to year without a greenhouse so I just take pictures and drool whenever I look at them.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
