Reader Comments on Decorating with Poinsettias from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:21:03 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2006-12/home/christmasstar "Poisonous" does not always mean "fatal," but it always means, "This is not good for you." While poinsettias can cause stomach upset in humans, they can cause a higher degree of illness in cats.

Any knowledge on that? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:15:48 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2006-12/home/christmasstar Last season, I purchase a white poinsettia. It survived right through to late spring and as soon as the ground was warm enough, I planted it outside and It blossomed all summer. I planted in a half sun, half shade area.

The second season that I had it I could not believe it was turning color. It depends on the amount of darkness it gets in the fall to bloom that next Christmas. I have cats and would like to know if they can really make them sick? They are so beautiful and I would like to get a live one. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:28:23 +0100
