Ann, this is a beautiful photo of a poinsettia...lovely color and light here. Your perspective and crop work well too...nice DOF and contrast in the background. Your text is simple and well done...it really compliments your seasonal photo. Very nice greeting, Ann. MFC

I meant to type poinsettas for the name Pat called these....

Thanks everybody. Bev, this kind of poinsetta has been out for a couple of years. I've noticed even more new hybrids this year. We have one that is more golden orange than red and I've seen a deep bricky read along with white, pink and regular red. I think growers have been playing with these in the last few years. When I was a kid I went to school with Pat Poinsette. Her grandfather discovered Poinsettas somewhere south of the border. (Can't remember if it was Mexico, Central or South America). They were named after him. She called them "Poinsettes" though this one was labeled "Poinsettia." I stick with Poinsetta since I expect that is how the name began. Ann C

A beautiful, classic greeting, Ann. ...and I have to ask - is this a new variety of poinsittia with the variegated bracts? Great choice of font and colors. Bev

I like your crop here, Ann. Nicely lit as well. Helen

Classic subject and colors for the seaon. I like the simplicity and composition of the shot. Love the way you did the font where its colors mimics the subject. Overall nice image.
