Poinsettias are everywhere. You will find them at the local florists, the super markets and in many other stores. They come in several colors but my favorite is red — that beautiful shade of true red. To me red and green are the true Christmas colors. Blue and silver run a close second. There are even some blue poinsettias but they have to be sprayed.

Mark Lugibill has been growing poinsettias in Columbus Grove for at least 28 years. His is the third generation at the Lugibill Greenhouse and they have been growing this beautiful Christmas flower for almost 50 years.
