Poinsettias
This poinsettia was very big and pretty last Christmas. Ater several neglected months in our garage, my husband set it in a corner of a rather shady flower bed for the summer. It surprisingly survived.
We are now directed to give it 12-14 hours of darkness from now till December if we want it to bloom. It goes outside on warm days and then stays in a dark corner of the garage at night. This obviously does not live up to greenhouse standards
We will see what happens. If it does well, we will give it a more elegant place next summer.
