Blue poinsettias, yea or nay?
I think these are white poinsettias painted blue, but I know they just seem weird. Any comments or can anyone else describe an unfortunate Christmas decoration?

2. The grocery store is advertising them as "Christmas flowers to go
with your decor". Makes me wonder if that decor would include plastic runners on the carpet and platic covers on the couch.

5. Powder blue.
Just the color I associate most with Christmas!

6. Yes indeedy.
Weird, because the whole point of poinsettias (one would think) is that they are Christmas colors...:shrug:

7. I thought the pink and burgandy colors were the outer limit, but at
least those are natural colors.

8. I say, down with all poinsettias
Doesn't matter whether they are blue, red, white, or purple. I think they are creepy and probably originated in a distant and sinister galaxy. They seem to lose their power after Christmas, but I wouldn't turn my back on one before then.

9. I'd probably like them better than white pumpkins. n/t
