A close friend bought this for me and left it on my desk. I was audibly startled when I opened the door when I arrived that morning. At first I thought someone had left a horribly diseased plant on my desk for diagnosis. I must confess that its bright colors did lift my spirits on some of the gloomy days we've had lately. I'm not a great fan of poinsettias, probably since I had to grow them prior to breeding advancements that eliminated much of the guesswork in growing a good and uniform crop.
My thoughts on plants, gardens, and gardening, mostly at home and where I work at the U.S. National Arboretum
