My grandmother could keep a poinsetta year-round and make it bloom
again by putting it in the basement for a while before Christmas.
This was in Iowa and in New York state.

I really want to learn how to do this but maybe it is impossible in
Texas. (?) In any case, I need to know how to keep the darn thing
alive for more than a couple months.

With hope and heart,
Kathleen (Wimberley)
