One of my favourite things about this time of year is picking out a poinsettia. I couldn’t decide this year so I got two!
As usual, I will try to keep these going as house plants past December. They usually die by March, depsite my best effort, but maybe this year will be different….
And speaking of murdering plants….
It’s been ages since I murdered a Cyclamen! That’s mostly because it’s been ages since I’ve actually seen a Cyclamen anywhere!
But maybe it’s just good timing, because I’ve learned so much about Cyclamen from my gardening shows, I might just be able to keep this one alive.
I’ll give you an update on it (and the poinsettias) in the New Year!

I used to love bringing home a poinsettia for Christmas. Sadly my kitties think they are snacks so it’s been a long time since I’ve had one. They used to have cyclamens in the grocery store every Christmas. Since I’ve discovered pick up I haven’t been in one in ages. I might have to hit the floral counter the next time I go.

My 2 Cats ate my Cyclamens. They think it is their snack.

Your new plants are beautiful! I never had much success with cyclamens but I’m betting you will.

Good title for a cozy mystery book: Death of a Cyclamen.

I kept a poinsettia alive until July once. Usually they’re dead by January. I don’t know why I even keep trying.

How pretty! I’ve got my eye on 2 white poinsettias! (one bad part apart keeping them alive is you don’t get a new one each year! lol)
