How I spent my afternoon..

[Jo Ann]

Good Evening all,

Today I decided to venture to Wal-Mart not that I really wanted to but we needed food. The crowds were bad. (I always start in the nursery section of the store... ). I picked up in the discount area a Paph. Raisin Pie X Supersuk, (is that really the best name they could come up with Supersuk?)...

The nursery was really packed with new shipments today. So I began to explore the Poinsettia area which was all over the place I never realized was how many different varieties of Poinsettia there is. I never was very interested in this plant up north I would see people buy them for the Holidays then chuck them out the door when it was all over. Here in my neighborhood I’ve seen a few large bushes growing in people’s yards all year round. It never occurred to me that these plants can be kept like a perennial not just treated like an annual. I do know that they are tricky to get them to rebloom. So I picked me up a variety called ‘Sonora White Glitter’. Tomorrow I will get its picture taken while it’s still in its prime. Oh and I did remember to get some groceries before leaving...
