I like the poinsettia but they don't seem to last long.
Cheers

I have poinsettias, Christmas Cactus, and Kalenchoe. The Kalenchoe has nice foliage after it's done blooming and will re-flower later in the year.
Here's an article of Christmas plant favorite and I have grown them all. They all have good points and bad. Denise http://thegardenersrake.com

My favorite is the Christmas cactus but I also love amaryllis and holly they can grow for years, I don't really care for poinsettias they don't last long enough.

I love the various colored blooms of the Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) because it is a refreshing change from the Poinsettia. Plus, the plant is very easy to take care of once it has stopped blooming. Water sparingly and give it bright, indirect sunlight and it will take care of itself. I've had mine for over 10 years and they never fail to bloom for me every winter.
