It’s time for my annual blog posts with photos of lots of poinsettias! For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while – you know that every year Longwood Gardens has all sorts of amazing varieties of poinsettias on display as part of their Longwood Christmas. This year I photographed nine different varieties of poinsettias. I’ll post the pink ones today – and the rest in a couple of days. I hope you enjoy them
Visions of Grandeur Poinsettia – this is one of my favorite poinsettias – I love the shades of pink in the petals that remind me of fluffy pillows!

Premium Apricot Poinsettia – this is the first year I’ve seen this variety. I like the very soft pinks with off white in the petals.
