I bought a mostly dead stick of a poinsettia after Christmas in 2020 for 93ยข. This is that little rescue 2 Christmas' later. Bounced back pretty good I'd say.
Whew! After inspection, the doxies have determined our freshly harvested sweet potatoes are not cheese or anything wrapped in bacon, so Thanksgiving is safe.
