When I visited a large poinsettia grower in Southeastern Wisconsin last December I found this rather odd looking poinsettia. It's a new type they were growing as part of a trial. It had no name yet only a number and it was truly a purple color. I'm starting off the my holiday postings with this and I have other more traditional poinsettias to post in December. All comments and critiques appreciated.

They must be cross breeding. Really a beautiful purple it is though! And a very lovely capture Kathy!!!

I have never heard of a purple Poinsettia, Kathy. But it is beautiful . I like how you filled the frame with this beauty. Nicely done.

How very pretty it is and it tricks the mind because Poinsettia immediately says red!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Haven't they come up with some beautiful different colored poinsettia though? This is another lovely one. Nice capture.

Lovely colours in the blooms Kathy. A nice closeup on these unusual poinsettia. Good details and lighting in the photo.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
