They are called Julestjerne in Danish, which means Christmas Star. <br /><br />I paid R 55 for mine in late November as wanted one for the center piece for our dinner party on 24th Nov. I saw them today, 2 for R 50 and in special pots R 38.50 each. Going to buy some more, when finished I plant in garden, don't always work as a bit too cold here, but I have one now in a pot I have been nursing for 2 years. Got 4 red leaves on now. <br /><br />Festive and lovely , thank you for sharing yours with us. <br /><br />Mwah !!Crazy Dane in Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618629033964988394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329843425686686021.post-47193438703260582032012-12-03T15:31:44.360+01:002012-12-03T15:31:44.360+01:00Definitely blooming with Christmas here too!

It's a must to have one at home during the season. In my neighbourhood, I see not many but a few ponsettia trees growing in private gardens. They are beautiful...Belita Isabel Janeirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17518127134233195201noreply@blogger.com
