POINSETTIA FESTIVAL

This morning we drove to downtown Phoenix
to attend Mass at
St. Mary's Basilica

Listening to the organ music
and three singers
was
absolutely
without a doubt
 captivating



Afterwards we took in the
Poinsettia Festival





Foil in Christmas colours were waiting
to join the poinsettias




Bows were ready too





Santa greeting the customers




A good looking (make believe) Santa!!




We went out to the greenhouse to check it out




I thought this was a great idea
Each poinsettia has a name





This was Joe's choice
We have one sitting on our desk




Freedom red and white shared one pot




This was called shimmer surprise




The coils on the wall help to keep
the greenhouse cool




They had a professional photographer on hand
These two dogs 'strolled up' in the pink stroller!!!




Here she is doing what she does best

The gray and white dog has
one blue eye and one brown eye
They are four years old

How do I know?

Ha-Ha
Of course I talked to the owner!!!!!




If you liked you could catch a ride
on the wagon
which took people to the greenhouse




We had a lovely day together!

  2. Beautiful !! I aslo thought it unique that they each carried a name. I love the one Joe chose. Imagine the pointsettia looking like roses ! I also saw blue ones.....I'd call that one Fridgid !!! lol... How come Gwennie wasn't pictured there ? Huh ? What ever you do don't let her loose in there.....

  3. I loved it and also liked Joe's choice, I,m not a huge fan of pointsettia, but that was pretty amazing, as we get minus 27 wind chill factor, it is so cold and the wind is out of control.
