It's RED

Every year I buy some poinsettia's at Christmas time because they make the house look so festive. They usually die within a few weeks and in the trash they go. I wonder if they all grow in the local landfill? Well the one from last year just won't die. It has been sitting on my kitchen counter for a year now. Some days it looks near death but the next day it looks alive again. I mean this poor thing doesn't have much soil left in it. It has been green since all the red leaves fell off months and months ago. Today as i was having my morning coffee i looked over at my green girl and she has two red leaves can you believe it. It's like the girl knows it's time to get dressed for the holiday season. Hopefully by Christmas day she will be all dressed in her holiday best.
