Kathy, this is a wonderful image of a very special Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), known in my country as Kerstster (Christmas star). As far as I know there are more than 2000 varieties, and every year new cultivars are grown. Think this is such a cultivar. If this one don't bring some one in the Christmas mood, no other one will do!
