Hard to imagine but its poinsettia time again. Heres a glimpse at part of our production in Northern VA. All together we grow +/- 750,000 poinsettias that sell over a 4 week period. Many sizes and shapes - all sold at Home Depots that we serve, all grown local to the market. My first experience growing and selling poinsettias was about 43 years ago where each of us grew six in Hort 101 at Sherwood HS. One went to mom, 5 were sold to others. Pretty sure thats where I realized there might be a real career in horticulture. The pots, soil, and cuttings were donated by Terra Nursery.
