The post Thanksgiving buffet first time visit to VBG's new Fernery structure, where we saw this nice little poinsettia exhibit. How appropriate given the season and the fact they were once grown extensively in Ventura, known at the time as "Poinsettia City". I also appreciated seeing the history (which I was familiar with), explaining how Joel Roberts Poinsett - the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico - introduced these plants to the U.S.A. in the early 19th century.
A highlight of the day.
