in all it's vibrant speckledness

Every year when faced with the dilemma of poinsettia color selection, I struggle.

Then I always end up getting red. Because I am a traditionalist. Red. Red. Red. And no glitter on the leaves please. 

Also never white. No. No. No. Though I can see a place for them in a monochromatic winter wonderland decorating scheme. Which I don't have. 

Then of course there are the pinkish ones with all that marvelous green patterning, begging to be brought home and painted. 

This year though, this one came home with me. I couldn't help it. In all it's vibrant speckledness it called my name as I walked by and I whisked it up right quick before someone else named Carol could answer.   

Purchased at Pendleton's Country Market - the undisputed, most prize winningness, poinsettia producer in the area. In my humble opinion.

I love your speckled poinsettia! We don't buy them because of 4 curious kitties, but thanks for sharing yours.

Me too, like Debbie, I like you speckled and especially the deep red and green leaf being blocked by the brighter reds.

Best choice ever... that red color is so vibrant and the white specks git it a bit of attitude and sassiness! (BTW, sassiness didn't pass spell check so I had to look it up on Google and make sure it was a word!)
