As I drive up and down Hillcrest on my rounds here in Monrovia, I pass this house with the lovely poinsettias growing at the side. Finally stopped and took a picture. I have always wanted a large poinsettia growing against my wall. I have gotten one to grow maybe to 2 feet, but they don't bloom. Often people I meet who have them talk about how they want to chop them down. I suspect this woman likes them - because I see her working in yard and tending to her flowers and plants. If she didn't want them, I'm sure she'd have cut them down.
Meanwhile, I enjoy the view!

In Nepal, pointsettas grew to be over 8 feet tall and were around the compound as a privacy hedge. They were huge. However, I have never been able to keep one growing after Christmas.
Maybe we need to import some from Nepal!!
