I have tried for at least 15 years and never succeed in keeping them alive through the season. I compared prices with the live ones (which would soon look pitiful in my home as I systematically manage to make them die...I swear they drop leaves in the store as I walk by!)to the price of decent looking artificial (gasp) ones. But, rest assured...NO purple ones.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600433643318115707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29305402.post-45897800929624620102006-11-18T08:01:00.000-05:002006-11-18T08:01:00.000-05:00and I don't get Purple Poinsettias...okay, confess...and I don't get Purple Poinsettias...okay, confession...I would have loved these Purple Poinsettias* when I was 13... <br /><br />I think your comment reveals something - people who get too into the offbeat, often seem to be people who never quite grow up - that can be a good thing and that can be a bad thing...<br /><br />I think you seem to have your child's heart in other places so I think you are okay!!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418200517338216765noreply@blogger.com
