Poinsettias for Christmas

We're going to try again this year to nurse along our poinsettias in a pot for planting out later.

On the first left is one planted last Spring in our friend's garden. Its protected from the frost against a south facing wall.









The one below is magnificent and in a garden a few minutes walk away. We thought it had died some 4 years ago in a hard winter, but it's sprung into life again and thriving.
