Some 70 different varieties of poinsettias are blooming in two greenhouses on Mississippi State's north farm. They are the product of an annual Plant and Ornamental Horticulture Research Program directed by Richard Harkess, an MSU associate professor of plant and soil sciences. The plants will be available for purchase at a Christmas plant sale scheduled for Dec. 2.
