It’s that time of year when Karinga Nursery’s rich red poinsettia blooms are off to market.
Roy Schirmer has hundreds of the flowers primed in his Keysborough nursery’s greenhouses.
The nurseryman has propagated for the past 45 years – carefully priming his roses, chrysanthemums and other flowers for Spring, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
The poinsettia are set to hit stores in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales in coming weeks.
