Euphorbia pulcherrima - 5 March 2026

In what is a yearly tradition, my friend Tim Turner who is a real estate agent who sold our Kerrisdale house and found our home in Kitsilano, brings me a large poinsettia every year. It is now in its last legs. As I was about to take it to the green bin I noticed the leaves. Noticing small stuff is something I learned from my Rosemary. In our garden my large hostas competed with some of her tiny perennials.

Because I cannot escape connecting everything in my house to my memory of Rosemary I decided to scan these lovely leaves. She would have smiled at my effort.
