Fresh-Cut Friday #16 Poinsettia December Flower of the Month

Welcome to Fresh-Cut Friday Holiday style!

December's flower is the Poinsettia.
Actually there are several beautiful flowers that are considered December's flower. It just depends where you look, who you ask and which one you like the best.

I picked this one up at Safeway... a little pricey at $29.99 ...
but it is huge and very full.
And you are worth it!

It really is gorgeous. Called a Marbled Poinsettia, you can see why.

Variegated pinks, greens and whites.

Shall we have a Poin-se-TEA-a Tea?

Now, sit down with me...

Just we three.

A sweet for you and a treat for me.

A lovely break after a hard day of work!

Which begs the Question: Are they poisonous? Well, I looked it up on Snopes....

Read what it says here.

Okay! Now it's your turn... Please make sure that you add a link from your post back to my post. That way we all get to enjoy the pretty arrangements.
