In lieu of a holiday card to all, I offered up my photo of Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) Eckespoint® Monet™, as featured on the cover of the December, 2002 issue of Growing Trends magazine, published by the Illinois Nurserymen's Association. 

Sad to see Monet go after a good six year run since its introduction, but it looks like the originator Paul Ecke Ranch is phasing it out in favor of the slightly darker Eckespoint® Monet Twilight™ for the 2003 production season. 

So Long, Monet...
