A colourful Ponsettia leaf.

As it is such a drizzly, grey skied day and that does not make a great blip, I decided to take a photo of the beautiful Ponsettia my daughter Maria gave me for my birthday in November. I am really glad the plant has lived and done well to keep this many leaves.  I followed the instructions on the packaging about not watering the plant too much, keeping it in the same place with plenty of sunlight, away from draughts and trying to keep the room temperature warm, above 15c. I do not like too much central heating warmth so with the heating on 19c and turned off at night, I think we are winning so far.
