Over on X (twitter) today my affiliate posts are poinsettia jewelry in brooch form. I found a couple pretty ones, one each from eBay and Amazon. The eBay piece is vintage and the Amazon one is filled with sparkle. My X profile if you are interested is https://twitter.com/CozyAtoZ.
I was thinking back to the first time I knew what a poinsettia was. I was young and we had moved from Kansas to California. This was in the olden days of the 1960s. There was a poinsettia bush in the backyard of the house we lived in. It was more like a tree really because in the nice coastal California climate it was as tall as our single story rented home. We used to break off leaves from it to see the white sap (?) that came out of them. The bright red flowers were so pretty and big and impressive.
In our backyard that plant grew like a weed. At home I have tried many times to keep a poinsettia gift or one I purchased over until the next holiday season and have never been successful. Orchids and poinsettias are my plant mother failures. That said, I still love the beauty of a red blooming poinsettia, do you?
I created the image below with Bing Image Creator (It is definitely not my house!). I think I will use it as my laptop wallpaper for the rest of the month. I like the bright red of the plants surrounded by modern white and gold. I did do a red and gold decorated tree one year and my youngest hated it but that is a story for another day. Somehow, I think a Christmas tree room should always have a fireplace even though I don't have or want one in the house where I live now.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
