Somewhere on teh intarwebs "Janet Conroy" typed:
Having bought poinsettias every Xmas for decades, I can work out
neither rhyme nor reason as to why some flourish and others are dead
within weeks. They seem to like regular tepid water and light, but
not direct sunlight; warmth but not too close to a radiator.
Actually, this year's was still going in August and I was so bored
with it that it went on the compost.

What an attitude to life! Had any relationships that have lasted longer?
