VALERIE’S VIEW from the Greenhouse!

HOMEGROWN!   

Many of the retail stores here in town have close to 2,000 sister stores across the country. It is no wonder that they can negotiate very low prices for the poinsettias that they bring in from out-of-state and sell in their stores. 

We, at Payne’s have just two stores, one on St. Michael’s Drive and one on Camino Alire. We grow our own poinsettias right here in town. Because we do grow our own, we are able to pot them up in different size pots and bring in lots of different varieties.

This year we are growing 23 different varieties of which many are RED, but there are also many other colors. They also have very cool names like Viking, Jester, Winter Rose, Lemon Glo, Christmas Mouse and several of the Princettias, etc. Below is a sampling of the varieties. Each day as we come into work, we are amazed how much each plant has changed overnight.

Besides poinsettias, we also have Zygo cactus (aka Christmas) in different colors. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
