Decorating with Poinsettias
In Warmer Climates, Poinsettias are on Porches, Patios & at Your Entryway

From Lisa Hallett Taylor, About.com

Looking at the various colors and shapes, it’s quite clear these aren’t your grandmother’s drug-store poinsettias. Shake up her world a bit with a 'Peppermint Twist' thrown into the mix, along with her favorite red and some assorted evergreens. While you’re at it, shake up the world just outside your door. Like on your porch, in a planter bed, or containers for those who reside in warmer climates – you know who you are. These Mexican natives attract a different kind of attention than, say, the inflatable snowman like the one two doors down.
