My take on our Christmas Poinsettia
Tuesday 15th December 2015
My wife bought a small Poinsettia plant today in a pot. They are tender house plants which do not like low temperatures, draughts or direct sunlight. They have mainly red and some green leaves and flower from December into January, hence they are widely available as a Christmas plant. We tend to view these plants from above as the smooth foliage spreads and they look good as a table decoration. I decided to look under the leaves and into the plant and was surprised at the different appearance. The underside of the leaves are ribbed, so with side lighting it enhances their texture. The top part of our plant was red and the bottom leaves were green, so I concentrated on the top half and lit the plant from the right hand side. It's a very different view.
