We are lucky to live near Cabrillo College. Especially for their Horticulture Department. For the Fall semester the students have grown some amazing varieties of Poinsettias.
Marcel and I paid a visit:

PB210034

PB210024

PB210025 

PB210037

PB210030 

I could go on and on with many more photos. The lighting in here is incredible. In fact the air and the lighting make me want to live in a greenhouse. So rejuvenating. Mind you, I realize that Marcel looks forlorn in the photos, but in reality this is his calm, zen plant face. He's really in heaven.

I want to give a shout out to Ernie, Dylan and Andrew of the gardens. "Bonjour and good cheer!"

    I don’t think I’ve seen that sort of purplish color before.
    I can practical feel the moist warm air and smell the smell based on your description.

    Once again Scott, you’ve sussed out the high note. Those purplish ones were the first to sell out when they opened their doors for a holiday sale.

    What a fabulous display. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Poinsettia

    I absolutely agree with Di Overtonl. In my country the name of Poinsettia is Christmas Star. 🙂
    Thanks for sharing.
    Have a great day 🙂
