How did you pollinate your pointsettia flower and how do you tell when it's ready to be pollinated?

I did not even know that they did flower. I bookmarked the page so keep us updated bro.

I just yahooed "Poinsettia flowers". I always thought the red flowers were just leaves!

-- learn something new every day....

This is what my poinsettia looks like, how did it get like that.....?
