When I lived in Phoenix I had paperwhites that came from my grandmother's home here in East Texas where I now live. The plant stock was well over 100 years old. I shared them year after year with all my neighbors until it got to the point the whole neighborhood stank with the smell of paperwhites. It's one of those blossoms that smells so wonderful when there's just a few but so awful when they become overpowering! These look awfully pretty interspersed with the red leaves of -- what are those things? Caladiums maybe?
Yep, Chris, that's poinsettia! I planted a Christmas poinsettia in the redwood flower box. Behind the red poinsettia is a rosemary plant, also a Christmas gift. It was trimmed to look like a Christmas tree. Now it just looks wild. Kathy, I have not caught a wiff of this guy yet. Maybe I should go sniff again.

A picture to celebrate!
Very purty--nice color combo.
Wow. I love those flowers. I'm feeling a little bit jealous just about now... :)
Beautimus!
With the contrasting red and white, it almost looks like a christmas snap!
So pretty. Nothing is like Arizona is the springtime.
