A Trip to Flower World Today

October and Halloween are past, and November is well underway.  I stopped by Flower World today to see what they had growing, and much to my surprise, there were hundreds of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima)!  There were red and salmon-colored varieties that stretched the whole length and width of the indoor portion of the public greenhouse area.  They were small, but I'm assuming that they are in place to be tended during the next two months while they grow to their mature size.  I can't wait to shop next month and make my selections!

I did buy a pink and white Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera), which will join the one I already have at home. It should burst into bloom during the first few weeks of December.  This trip to Flower World was enough to catapult me into the Christmas spirit a month early!  I can't wait!
