I have a friend that was looking for this Poinsettia -I think it's called "Ice Crystals" (could be wrong). I finally found it but it was expensive:

I only buy "fake" poinsettias and re-use them. I hated throwing them out, they do not grow well in my area.

Meanwhile, we've had such nice weather my paper whites are blooming - a bit early this year, bees love them:

My helpers are getting ready for a visit from Santa:

Aww — pets so cute! I see that the cat is growing in his/her insulating undercoat for the winter.
