Three kings from Persian lands afar

[venta]

Help. I have a dilemma. It is January 6th, Twelfth Night, and during the day (while waiting for code to compile, and so on) I have been carefully taking down the Christmas cards, holly and ivy which have been decking these halls of late. I don't, after all, want the goblins to get me.

However, does any know goblin views on poinsettia? There is a very large specimen of the genus Euphorbia pulcherrima sitting on the table, looking extremely Christmassy. Obviously I don't want to throw it away - but do I need to hide it, or disguise it, or anything ? Rebadge it as an early Easter decoration ?

To be honest, I don't think it's all that long for this world. The wretched thing has been slowly trying to die on me since dinner party guests brought it as a present shortly before Christmas. I phoned the more horticulturally-inclined parents to ask for advice on the care and feeding of a poinsettia, but the list of musts and must-nots was so long that I decided me and such a nesh plant were never going to get on very well.

I'm risking Goblins as I'm not putting my (alive and in a pot) Christmas tree out in all that snow.

So long as you've taken baubles and tinsel off it, I reckon you can rebrand it as a houseplant safely enough :)

(Did the card and voucher reach you ok, by the way? Seem to have a lot of adrift post this Christmas...)

The card and voucher did indeed reach here (and my first graze box arrived this morning). Thank you!
