Poinsettia

Have you ever seen our infamous Christmas plant poinsettia in a tree form? I haven't, until recently.

One day as I was walking by, I noticed this tree with some red leaves among the green ones in the garden of a villa across from our apartment. When I looked closely, I realized that it is a poinsettia tree! I could not believe my eyes because this tree was tall and strong - nothing like our flimsy dainty plants that go bold within the months after Christmas is over.

In Spain, I am impressed with some little natural phenomenon that just pop up out of nowhere in your way as you are passing by...



You can see the red leaves scattered.

The relation of the tree to the 2-storey villa can you a perspective about the tree's height.
