What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a tour of a poinsettia greenhouse! Today we joined several friends for a tour of Dutch Heritage Gardens, a 6-acre greenhouse that grows poinsettias for grocery stores and retail garden centers across the state of Colorado.
A few points about poinsettias...
- This facility houses 60,000 plants. It was a sea of color!
- The only true colors of poinsettias are red, pink, and white. Other variations are painted.
- It takes about 6 months for poinsettias to grow. These are planted in June.
This is our second year to tour this greenhouse, and the vivid colors of Christmas are something to see ... red and green at their best and brightest!
"Luke, wait up!"

The rows of plants were endless.
Sweet boys.
Papa (who is quite the gardener himself)
joined us for the tour, too!
