Pointless Poinsettias?

REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE three TV networks and two brands of toothpaste? Remember when Campbell's was the one brand of canned soup and when there were only a half dozen rock groups we listened to on the radio? 

And remember when there was only one color of poinsettia...  

...RED?
Those days are loooong gone! In today's world, there are choices. Everywhere. Have you looked at the dizzying number of different poinsettia types lately? 

There's the water color effect.  

There's the white sliver effect. 

There's the pure white which is actually more like soft yellow. 

There is the red with sage-green variegated leaves.
There are unique poinsettias with narrow bracts sporting shiny gold "variegation." 

And bracts in PINK with creamy white edging. Since it's pink, do you think I might be tempted? 

Sometimes the faux can look as good or nicer than the read deal. 

Nope. The real deal beats all. 
So, do you appreciate all the choices we have available to us today 
or do you prefer the simpler times of yesteryear?
