The conversation went like this: Me, "the poinsettias are lovely this year, I especially like this one, as it is different from the others. As I walked out of the greenhouse towards one of my favorite assistants in the garden area of the hardware store.shop assistant, "yes it is different" he said with a smile
Me, "I always did like things a little out of the ordinary" holding up the poinsettia with the different shaped bracts.
Shop assistant "Gnarly!" he said with a chuckle.
I took quite a few photos trying to capture the true color, which is more of a burgundy, but gave up trying as red seems to be a difficult color to photograph.
Quite gnarly, almost like it's diseased and grew wrong. I like the curl in it.
ReplyDeleteI like them. I would have bought one. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the different variations of poinsettias that come out each year. I would have one.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I like it Jennifer. Maybe it is the "Winter Rose"variety I saw at the Conservatory.
ReplyDeleteI would call it "Ruffles"

ReplyDeleteedtNZ that is about $4 more than I paid for mine.
ReplyDeleteI really like that gnarly one! I bought myself a burgundy-colored one too...almost chocolatey looking. Something different...

Happy Holidays!

I bought a Christmas Cactus this year thinking maybe I could keep it alive until spring! I never seem to do very well with the poinsettias.
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas.
