I am noticing that almost none of the poinsettia entries have details checked off, and was going to go to work on them. However, I have some questions as to how admin would like to handle them.

What we often refer to as the "flowers" aren't really the blooms. Rather they are bracts, or modified foliage that colors up and gives the appearance of a bloom. The bloom is actually the insignificant yellow nubs in the center of the bracts.

Would you like to have the bloom color noted as yellow, and the colorful part that is sometimes mistakenly referred to as blooms noted in foliage? There aren't enough color choices in foliage to properly note the color range of poinsettia foliage, so that would have to be noted in the comments.

What are your thoughts on this?
