POINSETTIAS
A few shots of some Poinsettias that I took at a recent visit to Molbaks. This year Molbaks is growing 50 different varieties. Last year I had the opportunity to go to the Poinsettia trials up in British Columbia and see 200 new hybrids. Its amazing to see, through hybridization, all the new colours, bract formation, shapes and sizes. Seeing all these beautiful plants really does help get me in the holiday spirit.
I've been in the floral and horticulture business for over 30 years, with a college education in Ornamental Horticulture. I started growing sweet peas for my Mom when I was a young kid and have had the gardening bug since.
