Pointsettias
We had baltic conditions up here last night minus 7 frost on the inside of the shop, bloody freezing...I did a stupid thing and put two pointsettias in the car overnight for delivery first thing this morning, did not realise how cold it was going to be they turned black. What a numptie am I. My white pointsetties are starting to turn brown on the leaves cause it was so cold last night, does anyone have any tips if I might be able to salvage two are for a wedding on Sat

We didn't get any this year and no one looking for them until yesterday one of our regular customers came in looking for 6 of them with the 'I always got them from you because you always got me such beautiful ones' Thankfully our wholesaler comes Wed so yes we ordered them for him but delivery is normally 2 pm Wednesdays guessing he will be late this week and so customer will call with us at 5pm for collection therefore they will only be in the shop for a short time

I used to say the same..hated buying them and chucking them out. So i just adopted the 'take em or leave em' attitude. If i walked into the market xmas week and could buy them in good nick for a really good price..i'd have a go. If i couldn't..it didn't bother me.

All my stephanotis have died! Poinsettias seem to be ok and they do sell. Someones ordered 20 off me! I've been putting them in pots or wrapping which I think helps. A bar also had six today for their table. Two fingers to the supermarkets I say!
