We all know how common a red poinsettia is, and have heard, it's kind of old lady to grow one. Well, I like old ladies, and one of them is growing and blooming in my back patio. It's twenty five feet tall, old as the hills, scraggly most of the time, and it always, every year reminds me it's Christmas. So call me an old lady, I don't care.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!

Kevin,
How wonderful, a 25 foot tall, red poinsettia. I for one think the poinsettia is a beautiful plant in bloom or not. - G
That is amazing!!!
Ha ha ha what an adorable post!
Mom, an old lady at the time, planted one in our back yard too. It grew surprisingly big! I had no idea they could become much like trees!
great series of photos! greetings from Barcelona.

Red against turquoise: always a winner.
Well...maybe she's an old lady, but still a beauty with her red lipstick on!
happy holidays!

I agree with Scott - the red and turquoise are a great combination. I've never seen poinsettia grow so high!
That's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it!
That is one lovely, grand old dame. How lucky you are for that Christmas reminder!
when we lived in tustin, california, i stuck our old poinsetta (leftover from xmas) into the ground next to our 100 year old house. to my surprise, it would bloom every holiday! what a treat!!
Kevin,
Thank you for your kind comment on WHV.
I love Hollywood history and just love all the information on your blog. Thank you again for doing what you do and sharing! ( laughing)
Have a great weekend and Happy Holidays!

Kevin, poinsettias in the wild are a whole 'nother thing. The things in plastic pots seem like their alien spawn.
In my opinion it's like an old wine, the older the better.
Your poisettia is fantastic.
Have a nice weekend.
Hugs.

I love the sprawling, spatial scribble of this tree with it's red splashed accents...it seems a bit magical...
She is BEAUTIFUL with all the bloom on her. Thank You for sharing. Have a great holiday.....Julian
Nothing common about these babies. They have an almost sci-fi feel to them. So perfect for Hollywood. I love them...especially against that turquoise. Howdy, Kevin! Happy Holidays,
Catherine
I like old ladies too. In fact, I happen to be one. Your old lady is gorgeous. Happy holidays Kevin.
well no wonder!!! your lady goes perfectly with your turquoise siding! what better together!
i think they're so lovely to see "in the wild" vs. in those foiled-wrapped plastic pots.
How great to learn that others appreciate landscape poinsettias! I used to have one that was 20-feet tall. Thank you for your post and Merry Christmas!
Hello Kevin! I just noticed that you have signed up as a follower on my blog! Great and thank you! How did you find me?
I share a lot of your interests too, but my interest in antiques is fading, nor am I interested in extra modern stuff. Hope I´ll hear from you soon!
Hello Kevin,
What a delightful post, Reggie had never--to his knowledge--seen a poinsettia growing "wild." Marvelous. He doesn't much care for the over-hybridized ones that one sees in pots covered with foil everywhere this time of year, but yours is a whole new ball game as they say. Joyeux Noël! Reggie
Magnificent and majestic -- a real grande dame, a queen mum.
Happiest of Holidays to you Hollywood ;)
Cheers, Alcira

I'm jealous--I wish I had a 25 year old poinsettia! It's like having a gnarled and lovely bonsai.
They are gorgeous! Growing a poinsettia at home gives you a good reason to have Christmas all year round! Enjoy the day, Kellie xx
It's lovely, and a great composition again the blue.
