Wonders Never Cease

This is the strangest plant.  Some background...last year Mark brought home the biggest pointsettia from Lowe's that I have ever seen.  Seriously it was two feet wide and full of beautiful flowers.  I babied it all winter and on into the spring...which is a miracle in and of it's self.  When it warmed up outside I decided to see what would happen if I  planted it in the yard.  It grew, got bushy and seemed to thrive in our dry/wet summer.  The other day the weather service said it was going to frost so we dug up the poinsettia and brought it in.  Now one side of it is not looking so good but I think it just might be in shock.  I'll baby it this fall and winter to see if it will last.  Craziest thing I have ever seen.  And to think I thought I didn't have a green thumb.
