The Crown of Thorns, Euphorbia milii is also putting out lots of flowers.



The Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulchrima, is of course, the flower which is associated with Christmas.

    Very pretty! It's difficult to grow geraniums here although I've tried several times. (I've given up now):( Love all your colours!

    I was thinking the same as Lillebeth - how strange that Geraniums are at their best at Christmas in your part of the world...here it's a typical summer bloomer.
    Have a great weekend!

    Shailaja: Thanks for your comment.
    Lilibeth: It is strange that on the same planet, different things are blooming in different places.
