Poinsettia

Maybe it is the bright colors of the poinsettia that liven up a gloomy winter day. After snow and cold and spending the past week coping with the 'crud', I was feeling pretty low energy until the woodworker came home today with this! At first I thought there must be 2 different poinsettias in the pot, but the white and red 'flowers' are all on the same stem. The red leaves look like they have been spattered with cream colored paint. Why some leaves are red, some are white and some are spattered is a mystery to me, but I don't need to know that to enjoy the plant. Thanks, Woodworker!
