JORDAN BANJO Jordan Banjo, from the Diversity street dance group, from I'm a Celeb, from Kiss FM is in the studio and his Five Brilliant Things are a huge amount of fun; from watching videos of Mums cutting fringes badly through to smelly pens and a surprising revelation about how old Jordan was before he'd tasted water… Get thee into this podcast and enjoy Russell and Jordan talking all over these good things. Jordan also tells what it's like to suddenly become well-known after winning BGT, how surreal that whole experience was. And as we chatted about on the show, you can hear Jordan alongside Perri hosting the breakfast show on Kiss FM every weekday from 7am on your radio or digital thing.  And in our extra show, Five Brilliant Questions, Jordan gives some incredible advice for anyone who wants to take dancing seriously as a career, and gives Russell a hilarious run-down of his many tattoos.

The Heir of House Black, by Kaitlyn444

Still the tallest statue in the USA, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France - in no less than 214 crates - in New York City on 17th June, 1885. Costing just $10m in today's money, the Lady went on to symbolise the immigrant journey - even though the designers and engineers behind it had no such intention. And it wasn't supposed to be green, either - that's because it's oxidized. In this episode, Olly, Rebecca and Arion consider whether NYC bagged themselves a bargain, reveal the origins of the ‘ticker tape parade', and wonder if they could ever do something so epic for their Mums...

Lūkojamies uz Baltijas uzņēmumu no Latvijas, kurš savā nozarē kontrolē ceturto daļu tirgus, un lai gan procentu ziņā tam aizņemties naudu bankās attīstībai būtu lētāk, tomēr izdevīgāk ir bijis iet obligāciju ceļu. Pavasaris un vasaras sākums Baltijā ir bijis ļoti aktīvs obligāciju tirgū un lielākoties uzņēmumi ir spējuši šādā veidā piesaistīt kapitālu savai izaugsmei. Vēl 16. un 17. jūnijā investori var parakstīties vadošās redzes aprūpes grupas Baltijā „OC VISION” obligācijām par kopējo summu līdz 10 miljoniem eiro ar fiksētu gada procentu likmi 6% un dzēšanas termiņu četri gadi. Minimālais parakstīšanās slieksnis obligācijām ir 100 eiro, un piedāvājumā aicināti piedalīties gan privātie, gan profesionālie investori Baltijā. Obligācijas tiks nodrošinātas ar nekustamā īpašuma ķīlām un ķīlām uz „OC VISION” un meitas uzņēmumu aktīviem Latvijā un Lietuvā. Uzņēmums ir gana liels un stabils, lai varētu naudu piesaistīt un aizņemties dažādos veidos - kāpēc šoreiz izvēlētas obligācijas skaidro uzņēmuma valdes loceklis un līdzīpašnieks Gatis Kokins.

Anita is also joined by survivor and campaigner Jade Blue McCrossen-Nethercott, who has been calling for change.New research by UK Coaching reveals that mums could be key to reversing the sharp decline in the number of female volunteer sports coaches, down 10 percent in just two years; Over a third of mums who aren't currently involved in their child's sports clubs want to give coaching a go, but are put off by a lack of confidence and knowledge of individual sports.

When we think of “mum,” most of us picture warmth, safety, Sunday roasts, On this week's episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the murky waters of motherhood gone mad. We're talking manipulation, mayhem, and maternal crimes so twisted, they've earned these women a spot in the Hall of Infamy. Here's a sneak peek at some of the worst mums of all time.

What if the skills you already use every day could help you build a flexible, well-paid career from home? In this episode of Moms on Cloud Nine, I'm joined by Rachel Green, founder of WOW Moms, to unpack how more women are discovering the freedom and income potential of becoming a Virtual Assistant (VA). Rachel's story is one that will resonate deeply with anyone who's ever felt trapped by inflexible work, underpaid roles, or the impossible juggle between parenting and professional growth. After her daughter was born prematurely, Rachel knew something had to change. She turned her years of experience as a PA into a thriving VA business, matching her corporate income within six months. More importantly, she built a life that allowed her to be present with her children and in control of her own future. That transformation didn't just stop with her. She now helps women around the world earn their first £1K as VAs and scale well beyond it. In this conversation, Rachel shares the real story of how to get started as a VA, from the mindset shift required to build confidence to the practical skills that are most in demand right now. We talk about why niching down can raise your income, how to find your first clients (even if you're introverted), and why resilience is the most underrated business strategy of all. We also explore the different types of VA roles that exist today, whether it's admin, social media, tech, podcast management, or even supporting Salesforce systems. It's not about fitting into a box. It's about recognising the value of the skills you already have and learning how to market them. Are you a mum looking for a way to balance work and family life while securing your financial future? Do you dream of having a more fulfilling career, setting your own schedule, and having the freedom to create the best life for your kids?

Evelyn Weigert wirkt, als würde sich ihr Temperament direkt über ein paar gut verborgene Solarzellen speisen - das ist schon besonders. Nur deshalb schafft sie es wahrscheinlich, als Moderatorin, Autorin und Podcasterin zu arbeiten. Und als Sängerin, gemeinsam mit dem Schauspieler Tom Beck macht sie Country-Musik - und zwar ziemlich gut. Evelyn kam 1988 in Regensburg zur Welt, wo sie in einem Mehrgenerationenhaus aufwuchs und eine ordentliche Portion Liebe mit auf den Weg bekam. Auch, als sie mit 15 beschloss, die Schule zu verlassen. Evelyn absolviert ein Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr, macht im Anschluss daran eine Ausbildung zur Krankenschwester, studiert am Musik-College und besucht schließlich Frank Elsters Masterclass und schnell wird klar: hier sitzt eine Entertainerin. Gebt dieser Frau ein Betätigungsfeld. Und so arbeitete Weigert u.a. für Pro7, RTL und den HR und hostete den höchst erfolgreichen Podcast „Heinlein & Weigert“. Ihr Buch „Peace, Bitches“ wurde ein Bestseller, das jetzt aktuelle „Peace, Mums“ könnte daran anknüpfen. Evelyn lebt mit ihren 2 Töchtern und ihrem amerikanischen Mann Alex, der offenbar hervorragend kocht, in Berlin. Wir sprechen über Sinn und Sinnlosigkeit von Manieren, über Maßlosigkeit und das Essen ihrer geliebten Oma, über guten Griesbrei und sahnige Rahmkartoffeln und: über den langsamen Onkel Hans. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt.

Jau labu laiku analītiķi, politiķi, žurnālisti un faktiski jebkurš interesents sekojis līdzi tam, kā attīstās situācija Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs pēc Donalda Trampa atkārtotās ievēlēšanas prezidenta amatā. Jaunās pilnvaras Trampam ļāvušas sevi spilgti apliecināt gan ārpolitikā, gan momentāni iedarbināt virkni procesu iekšpolitikā, par ko daļa priecājas, bet daļa ir ārkārtīgi satraukusies. Šo satraukto prātu vidū ir arī zinātnieki. Visai drīz pēc ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa atkārtotas stāšanās amatā tūkstošiem pētnieku ASV pilsētās un arī Eiropā tikušies mītiņos ar saukli "Stand Up for Science" ("Iestājieties par zinātni"). Viņi pauduši protestu ASV administrācijas darbībām, samazinot zinātnisko darbaspēku un izdevumus pētniecībai. Vai ASV administrācija baidās no zinātniekiem un kuras zinātņu nozares varētu ciest visvairāk? Vai tas varētu sekmēt to, ka zinātnieki pamet ASV? Un cik liela zinātnes un akadēmiskā brīvība ir tepat Eiropā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā diskutē Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Sociālo zinātņu pētniecības centra vadītāja Ieva Puzo, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks, Delavēras universitātes doktorants Toms Rātfelders un Latvijas Universitātes pēcdoktorants, starpdisciplinārs matemātiķis, Latvijas Universitātes Klīniskās un profilaktiskās medicīnas institūta pētnieks Jānis Lazovskis. Dienā, kad skan raidījums, kļuva zināms, ka ASV varas iestādes apturējušas studentu vīzu noformēšanu. Visiem trim sarunas dalībniekiem ir pieredze saistībā ar darbu vai mācībām ASV. Ieva Puzo ir ieguvusi maģistra grādu Kalifornijas universitātē Berklijā, Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs un pēc tam arī doktora grādu Pitsburgas universitātē. 2017. gadā viņa atgriezās Latvijā un uzsāka darbu Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē. "Sajūtas ir ļoti dažādas šobrīd, bet galvenokārt milzīga nožēla par to potenciālo, tām trakajām lietām, kas jau ir sākušās un kas vēl varētu arī notikt zinātnes vidē Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs. Arī tāpēc, ka Pitsburgas universitāte, kur ieguvu doktora grādu, bija pirmā, kas šī gada sākumā paziņoja, ka šogad neuzņems doktorantūras studentus. Tai sekoja vēl citas. Bet tā bija tāda pirmā skaļāka zīme arī man, kas parādīja, kā procesi mainās, universitātes ļoti sāks pielāgoties. Tās lietas, ko mēs iepriekš tvērām kā pašsaprotamas, domājot par akadēmisko brīvību visdažādākajās tās izpratnēs, par kaut kādu institūciju attiecībām ar štatiem, ar federālo varu ASV, ka tās patiešām ļoti krasi mainīsies un noteikti ietekmēs arī to, kā vispār zināšanas tiek radītas ASV un citviet pasaulē," vērtē Ieva Puzo. "Es vairāk kā politologs skatos. Redzu, ka zinātne kā tāda arī ir viens no ASV varas eksportiem pasaulē, jo daudzi cilvēki dodas uz ASV ar mērķi iegūt zināšanas, jo ASV ir labs finansējums, viss ļoti ērti, infrastruktūra, var iegūt labas zināšanas, programmas ļoti kvalitatīvas, un pēc tam cilvēki aizbrauc atpakaļ uz savām mītnes zemēm ar labu iespaidu par Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm kopumā. Bieži šie cilvēki veido eliti šajās valstīs, kas attiecīgi nāk ar pozitīvu noskaņojumu pret Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm, kas savukārt nozīmē: ja Amerikai, teiksim, kaut ko vajag panākt starptautiskajā vidē, to var izdarīt daudz vieglāk, jo Amerikai uzreiz ir sabiedrotie, cilvēki, kas ir pozitīvi noskaņoti pret Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Ja šāds finansējums zūd, tad šāds eksports mazinās, attiecīgi tas arī mazina ASV spēku starptautiskajā sistēmā," analizē Toms Rātfelders. Jānis Lazovskis ir ieguvis doktora grādu ASV Čikāgā un piekrīt kolēģu teiktajam. Šobrīd ASV strādā un mācās vairāki viņam pazīstami cilvēki. Kad minējis viņiem, ka būs šāda diskusija, un lūdzis komentārus, vairāki lūguši neminēt vārdus, jo viņiem ir satraukums, ka var vērsties pret starptautiskajiem studentiem. "Līdz šim tas ir bijis balstīts tajā, ja izsaka atbalstu Palestīnai, bet kopumā ir sajūta, ja kaut ko pateiks, kas valdībai nepatiks, tad var ļoti viegli studentus izspert ārā no valsts," bilst Jānis Lazovskis. "Tas ir, no vienas puses, neaptverami, kā tāds slikts sapnis, ko gaidām, kad tas beigsies. Protams, no ārpuses ir viegli to tā uztvert. Tiem, kuri dzīvo un strādā Amerikā, tā ir ikdiena, un tas ir noteikti daudz, daudz grūtāk." '"Mums pirms diviem mēnešiem izraidīja no universitātes astoņus studentus. Nebija nekād paziņojuma, vienkārši universitātes Starptautisko lietu departaments skatījās tā saucamos "service record", respektīvi, kur ir informācija par studentu failiem, un ierauga, ka vīza ir atņemta. Principā students ir nostādīts fakta priekšā," stāsta Toms Rātfelders. "Mums universitātes vadība teica: ja kaut ko tādu ierauga, mēģināsim ātri ziņot, mēģināsim ātri monitorēt, lai mēs nebraucam uzreiz projām, jo ir iespēja dabūt universitātes apmaksātu juridisko pakalpojumu. Tā ir realitāte, ar ko jāsaskara, ja tu vēlies palikt ASV, ja tu vēlies savu akadēmisko karjeru saistīt ar Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Ļoti ātri viss var mainīties un tev var vienā brīdī vienkārši nākties samainīt visus dzīves plānus." Tas neattiecas tikai uz studentiem, bet arī uz universitāšu darbiniekiem, norāda Ieva Puzo. Kāpēc Amerika sāka šādi uzvesties pret saviem zinātniekiem un studentiem? Toms Rātfelders norāda, ka jāņem vērā politiskais konteksts saistībā ar Izraēlas - Palestīnas konfliktu, bet laika gaitā tas jau ir attīstījies, ja sāc kaut ko publiski teikt, rakstīt, uzstāties, kas ir pretrunā ar ASV valdības oficiālo nostāju ne tikai Palestīnas jautājumā, arī citos jautājumos, automātiski valdība var pateikt, ka tu esi nevēlams cilvēks šai valstī un tev ir jādodas projām. Tāpēc tev ir jābūt ļoti uzmanīgam. Kuras zinātņu nozares varētu ciest vairāk?  "Viens no uzbrukuma pirmajiem upuriem ir, protams, visas tās jomas vai tie zinātnieki, kas darbojās virzienā, lai veidotu iekļaujošāku sabiedrību, lai mēs veidotu, piemēram, veselības pakalpojumus, kas pieejami visdažādākajām cilvēku grupām. Šīs jomas arī ātri vien kļuva par uzbrukumu upuri un ātri vien parādījās šie 40 vārdi, ko pētnieki nedrīkst iekļaut savos Nacionālā zinātnes fonda un Nacionālā veselības institūta projektu pieteikumos. Šo vārdu saraksts iekļauj, piemēram, tādus vārdus kā sievietes. Tad mēs saprotam, kas ir tas, pret ko notiek šī vēršanās," komentē Ieva Puzo. "Jā, tas vairāk skar noteiktas sociālās zinātnes, humanitārās zinātnes, tomēr tas tiešām skar visdažādākās zinātnes nozares, milzīgas pētnieku grupas. Mani ļoti pārsteidza, ka tajā brīdī, kad šis 40 vārdu saraksts izskanēja, es novēroju kaut kādās "Facebook" grupās, kur pētnieki pulcējas un apspriežas, ka pirmā reakcija bija - hei, mums ir nevis jāprotestē, bet mums ir jāpielāgo savi pētījumu pieteikumi, mums ir jāizņem šie vārdi un tie ir jāaizstāj ar citiem. Un tā ir bīstama tendence, manuprāt, ko es, šķiet, negaidīju no ASV kolēģiem, no vienas puses. No otras puses, tas man tikai nostiprināja pārliecību, ka tas, kas notiek tagad, ir kaut kāda iepriekšējo procesu intensificēšanās un pastiprināšanās. Kā ik trešdienu piedāvājam ielūkoties kādā iedomātā grāmatu plauktā. Šoreiz kādu pērli no Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas muzeja plaukta ir gatava izcelt muzeja vadītāja Ieva Lībiete. Viņa stāsta par grāmatu, kas visvairāk ietekmējis to, kā pati saprot medicīnas vēstures gaitu. Tā arī grāmata, kas ietekmējusi veidu, kā medicīnas vēsturi viņa pasniedz studentiem. Tā ir kanādiešu autores - ārstes-hematoloģies, medicīnas vēsturnieces un medicīnas vēstures profesores Žaklinas Dafinas grāmata "Medicīnas vēsture: skandalozi īsa iepazīstināšana" (Jacalyn Duffin. History of Medicine: A Scandalously Short Introduction).  

Apparently once you have a baby, your only acceptable form of fun is a pedicure and an occasional massage - and we call bullshit.This week, Kel gets fired up about the idea that mothers have to earn their joy, especially when that joy looks like getting a little loose. Inspired by a brilliant article in The Cut, we unpack the judgement that comes with mums who still love to party - whether that's a rave, rosé in a garage, or a solo Bali trip with cocktails and zero guilt."Selfish" isn't a dirty word.LINKS TO EVERYTHING MENTIONEDArticle - Happy Mother's Day to the Moms Who Love to PartyESSR episode - Mummy Wine Culture Isn't Cute DepopWear NalaHOSTS & PRODUCERSKelly McCarren ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelly_mccarren⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kee Reece Searles ⁠⁠@keereece⁠⁠AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Mylk Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Būt gataviem krīzes situācijām, bet tai pat laikā nepazemināt dzīves kvalitāti. Vai tas ir iespējams, interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro domnīcas "Veselības aprūpes sistēmu noturība" valdes priekšsēdētāja Sandra Zilberta un domnīcas "Veselības aprūpes sistēmu noturība" līdzdibinātājs un Latvijas Transatlantiskās organizācijas jaunatnes nodaļas projektu vadītājs Andrejs Petrovs. Kā saglabāt mieru krīzes situācijās, vērtē psihoterapeits psihiatrs Artūrs Utināns. Kam vajadzētu būt mājas aptieciņā, kā plānot ikdienas resursus, kā runāt ar bērniem vai senioriem par drošību, kā uzturēt personīgo gatavību, neupurējot dzīves kvalitāti un kā kopiena var kļūt par cilvēka stipro plecu krīzes brīdī? "Vārds krīze ir liels, bet ietekme, kā to arī speciālisti saka, visām krīzēm ir aptuveni vienāda," norāda Sandra Zilberta. "Ar šo es negribu teikt, ka mēs varēsim un spēsim prognozēt, kas katrā krīzē precīzi notiks." "Brīnišķīgi būtu ģimenes ietvaros, savu tuvinieku ietvaros, vai kopienas ietvaros izrunāt dažādu krīžu iespēju. Piemēram, tie, kuriem regulāri trāpa kādi plūdi, viņi to jau ir izdarījuši. Mums arī tagad būtu laiks apzinātīgi pievērsties un mierīgi izrunāt šo krīžu iespējamību, un ko mēs darām, un kādi ir mūsu resursi, un kā mēs šos savus resursus paņemam un lietojam," aicina Sandra Zilberta. "Es pat neteiktu, ka ir nepieciešamas speciālas prasmes, jo arī "piektajā gadalaikā", katrā krīzē dzīve turpināsies un valsts darīs to, kas valstij ir jādara, un tā palīdzība atnāks, bet ir jāspēj noturēties tās 72 stundas vai nedēļu, un šis ir ļoti reāls laika rāmis, kurā vajadzētu izrunāt, kā lietas notiks septiņas dienas. Es teiktu septiņas, sirdsdrošībai, lielāka skaidrība, mierīgāka sirds." Andrejam Petrovam ir pieredze Ukrainā, kurp viņš devies kā brīvprātīgais. "Kad 2023. gadā aizbraucu uz Hersonu, man nebija nekādas pieredzes, nekādas zināšanas par to, kas vispār tur notiek. Es aizbraucu kā brīvprātīgais Sarkanajā krustā pastrādāt. Mana pieredze bija īpatnēja ar to, ka es nezināju, ko darīt šajā krīzes situācijā, es vienkārši aizbraucu, lai saprastu, kā dzīvo ukraiņi. Hersonā katru dienu notiek apšaudes, man paveicās būt pēc snaiperu apšaudēm, mīnmetēju un tanku apšaudēm, un es sapratu, ka es vienkārši apstājos uz vietas un es nezinu, ko man darīt," stāsta Andrejs Petrovs. "Ļoti labi, ka blakus bija tie cilvēki ar pieredzi, un tad viņi man teica: tev jāiet, tur un tur, tagad tev jākrīt uz zemes, tagad tev jāiet uz patversmi. Viņu pieredze, viņu sagatavotība varēja glābt mani. Tāpēc es uzskatu, ka jebkurā jebkurai krīzei ir jāsagatavojas, un tad arī to varēs ļoti vienkārši pārvarēt. Tās lietas, kuras mēs varējām iemācīties no Ukrainas situācijas, varam pārņemt sev, un tad, kad krīze atnāks, mēs būsim sagatavoti un mums būs daudz vienkāršāk to pārvarēt." Sandra Zilberta aicina visus jūnijā doties uz pašvaldību vēlēšanām un izvēlēties tos kandidātus, kuri jau pierādījuši, ka spēj risināt krīzes situācijas, vai tas bijis 2022.gadā, kad sākās karš Ukrainā un Latvijā ieradās daudz bēgļu, vai tas bijis Covid laikā.

Linda Levitt, Master Gardener Volunteer, rejoins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley with Flower Power Retrospective (Part 3) . In this episode you'll hear two previously aired short segments about flowers that have been compiled together for easier listening. In the first segment, Linda discusses how to grow popular fall flowers that include Mums, Asters and Montauk Daisies. Including these beautiful plants in your flower gardens will bring lots of fall color to your landscape. Chrysanthemums are a large genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family. The plants can grow 2-4 feet tall with blooms that are white, yellow, or pink in the wild species, but also come in multiple cultivars with many colors and shapes of flowers. Mums are divided into garden hardy and exhibition types. Garden hardy mums can be planted in gardens while exhibition mums are more florist types and need special growing care. Garden mums are often sold in the fall but can be planted in the garden for the following year. They need organic soils in full sun but can tolerate some shade in the south. Be sure to cut the plants back in summer to encourage bushiness and a later bloom time. Use in the border, in pots, or on the patio or porch for fall color. Asters are also members of the Asteraceae family. They have daisy-like flowers and come in a variety of colors. They are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They typically bloom in late summer and fall, adding color as the seasons change. They have mounding as well as erect varieties and may be propagated by seeds, division, root cuttings, or stem cuttings. Deer, rabbits, and other mammals may nibble at the flower buds but they don't tend to eat the entire plant because of its pungent smell, bitter taste. The plant tolerates the nibbling, which serves as beneficial pruning. Asters are an important food and nesting source for wildlife. The Montauk Daisy (also known as the Nippon daisy) is native to Japan but cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere. This perennial tolerates light shade in hot climates. New growth may be cut back slightly in spring to maintain plant compactness and encourage bushy form. Removing spent flower heads may promote additional blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. It produces wonderful, long-lasting fresh-cut flowers. They are also good for drought-tolerant gardens. The second segment features Holiday plants including how to care for them. Amaryllis, Holiday Cactus and Poinsettias are all discussed. Amaryllis bulbs, native to Africa, come in various sizes. Amaryllis may be purchased as bare or planted bulbs, and are prized for their exotic trumpet-shaped flowers (typically red, white, pink, salmon, apricot, rose, or burgundy) on leafless stalks that can be 1-2 feet long. They add dramatic color to homes and gardens and make wonderful gifts to gardeners from beginners to experts. Amaryllis flowers, which can be single or double) range from 4 to 10 inches in size. The holiday cactus is a genus of succulent plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae) that are native to Southeast Brazil. This genus includes the Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus. It has fleshy stems, showy flowers and grows well as a houseplant, preferring moisture but adapting to a variety of home environments. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but doesn't like direct sun. Periods of lower light in the fall will encourage winter blooms. They may be propagated by stem or root cuttings.The poinsettia is native to Mexico and Guatemala. In the United States, it is typically grown as a potted plant and is popular as a decorative flower (available in shades of red, pink, and white) during the holidays. The plant grows best in part shade at temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry, but do not overwater. The cup-shaped yellow "flowers" bloom in the winter through the spring and cluster above showy red leafy bracts or modified leaves. We hope you've enjoyed this retrospective series. As Linda Levitt reminds us "don't forget to stop and smell the flowers'".
