Thanks you all for the comments. Yes, And, yes it was a red and white poinsettia.

very nice poinsettia, Beverly. Initially I thought it had shinier leaves also, than the ones we see here, then looked again and realized it's mottled with white :) -at least think that's what it is

A lovely close up, the ones in our shops that Iv'e seen don't have the nice shine to the pettals/leaves like yours, great shot

Wonderful view Beverly of the poinsettia. It gives me the feeling that Christmas is near :)
