Check where they were grown. We have local growers in my area of Missouri and none are imported (not sure where WalMart gets theirs however).

I live 10 miles or so down the road from Encinitas, so the poinsettias here are probably from this exact farm. Sad.

It could be that the little starter or parent piece of the Missouri plants come from Ecke's if it is indeed providing 70% of the country's plants. I think they're propogated by rooting from a piece, but I'm not positive...
