I'm going to sneak in a comment since it's just barely December. I must say though, I'd write about this anytime of the year. Your photos are just nearly heart stopping they are so beautiful. I knew there are many different Poinsettias but the colors of red and green are still my favorite. I think that Mississippi State still grows them in a big way, too. I'm a Used to be Master Gardener and one year part of our club went down there to see them at the Christmas open house and brought back a few for the rest of us to see. They were amazing and that was nearly 10 years ago. I've often wanted to grow a few, but with all the moving in and out of light, I know that I would forget and mine wouldn't be right. I can understand why they can cost so much. These in your photos would probably be close to $100 each. I'd love to walk into the greenhouse and see all of them blooming like this. It would be a blessing.
I hope this finds you enjoying the great state of Tennessee. I have made some good friends from your new state. I don't know where you live but, they used to have some great plant swaps in Middle Tennessee. If your interested, I'll try to look up the website for you.
Blessings and have a safe and happy new year, Mona
