Caturday 85: A Poinsettia for Lacey's Podium

Sue and I are pretty much joined at the hip, but she did run a few errands on her own yesterday whilst I rested my wonky back at home. Among a few other things, including coffee, she returned with a poinsettia for Lacey’s podium.


That one ⬆️ was taken in my iPhone's macro mode. For this one ⬇️ I used one of the special portrait modes. 


The Calandiva plant was still holding up well enough, but the plan has been to place a poinsettia plant there for Christmas. I know that it is early, but the plant was inexpensive, and poinsettias do tend to last for a long time, so there we are.

  1. I do like a poinsettia for Christmas. Sometimes my housecleaning family gives me one, so I will wait till their December visit before checking them out.

  2. It is beautiful and worthy of your special furry cat, even if she's gone.

  3. Great remembrance for Lacey! Poinsettias are so pretty for wintertime, when greys take over the landscape! And you still have many more decorations for Christmas to come!

  6. I think leaving Lacey's podium is a wonderful idea and a very nice plant podium.

  7. This is a lovely idea! Mari likes to nibble on poinsettias so I can't have one in plain view. Also, they don't do well at all chez moi.

  13. A fine idea. Someone in my family will arrive here with one in December and I will proceed to kill it. Sigh.
