Gorgeous! For me no poinsettia at Christmas would be almost as bad as no Christmas tree. We have still got ours from 2019 sitting in a corner of the kitchen with two red leaves. We hope that it will wake up again in the late autumn. Unfortunately our climate is too harsh for them to overwinter outdoors. Cudos to you on your red collection, Jasna! Reds are incredibly difficult to photograph well.

Many thanks Kathryn! One year my poinsettia stayed and let out new leaves. Still, didnโt stay another year, itโs very hard to succeed.
