The red leaves cover a large area--about 10" across. I don't know if the buds in the middle will open into flowers or are just seed pods, but I'll keep an eye on them & find out. Downloading is recommended.

The yellow things ARE the blooms. The leaves start to turn red when the nights get shorter, they are native to Mexico. But they have become associated with Christmas world wide.

Earl, for us it is a common plant always around for CHRISTmas. It is a Poinsetta. Excellent set.
