[It's me]

I'm from San Diego. This is where they grow the poinsettias. 99% (my guess) of the plants sold here are from the Ecke Ranch.
I seem to remember now, last year there was a concern about the family losing money because the plants were coming up from Mexico.

Apparently that is a good thing!

Some invasions from Mexico might be a GOOD thing! ;o)

A nursery near here used to sell a lovely poinsettia that was several plants in a hangar basket that had holes in the side and there were branches coming out the holes. It was HUGH and just gorgeous. He also sold a variety one year called Freedom that was a deep red, almost burgundy!
