Happy December 12 Speakies:
Let’s start talking Christmas stuff today and what a better way to start off with is the traditional Christmas flowering plant called the Poinsettia. In fact today is “POINSETTIA DAY.” The Poinsettias are very popular decorations in homes, churches, offices and are practically available in any grocery, drug or major chain stores. The Poinsettia is a species of flowering plant native to Mexico and Central America. It is named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, who was the first US Minister to Mexico and brought the plant to the US in 1825. There are over one hundred varieties of Poinsettias available. I tried for several years to keep some of my plants alive outside and so far I have that may see Christmas no guarantees though.
Speaking of Christmas plants Roe and I have a Christmas cactus for several years, last year it was not looking good but I have been feeding it a mixture of Epsom salt and water and it has rebounded fairly well. I’m hoping to see some flowers popping out shortly.
There are so many Christmas things to talk about so I’m going to rack my grey matter to bring up some topics and memories for us to discuss. Today is also a favorite holiday dessert its that fruity ambrosia. So if you are a fan of ambrosia make some today or run down to your favorite deli and pick some up to enjoy. I want all you Guys and Dolls to have a great day and evening and remember to be good because Santa is coming soon.
