We have snow too, Eagle...but not like what you have. Sounds so ...Chrismassy.

Colors, flowers, heat, desire

The poinsettia sprouts in crimson blossoms,
Awakening the desire for colors red and green.
The star like flower, is so popular, it's ausome,
In every office, store, and home it's seen.

It's resistant to heat, sun and cold
I can drown it or let it dry up.
Still, all my poinsettia's get very old.
By Easter, - I have had enough.

Sooo when Spring time rolls around,
I say goodbye to the Christmas green and red,
I plant those old poinsettia's in the ground.
and let them thrive in a natural earth bed.
