One of the wonderful things about living in the DC area is the number of botanical gardens that create wonderful displays for the holidays – especially Christmas. Every year I see more and more new to me varieties of poinsettias.

When I was growing up, I pretty much remember seeing red poinsettias – with the occasional white one. Then I started seeing poinsettias in wonderful shades of pink. Most recently I’ve started seeing poinsettias with mulit-colored bracts (which are leaves not petals). I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos of some of the amazing poinsettias I’ve photographed this year with you today.

  Usually a few feet tall – depends on the variety. Some are much shorter, I’ve seen a few taller ones

Beautiful Poinsettias
