As an iconic Christmas symbol, poinsettias are always a colourful addition to home décor, and walking into Ross’ Nurserymen on Indian Creek Road in Chatham, there are poinsettias as far as the eye can see in many different shapes, colours and sizes.
From the red crinkled leaves of the Carousel poinsettia, traditional white and red blooms, to frosted and marbled, there are many varieties to choose from, according to staff members Cheryl Nelles and Stephanie Vanderveen.
A striking plant that is quite different is the Christmas Rose variety, which Vanderveen said is one of over a dozen types of poinsettia available to the public.
Ross’ Nurserymen is open 9-5 Mon. to Fri., Sat. 9-4 and open Sundays until Christmas 11-3.
