Not to brag, but if you happen to see a poinsettia anywhere in the Twin Cities this holiday season, chances are I’ve seen it already. On Monday morning I visited the giant Farmington greenhouse where Bachman’s was preparing its entire 2010 stock of poinsettias to be shipped out. In total, the collection represents 32 varieties and numbers over 75,000 individual plants—that would be enough to give one to every child in the city of Minneapolis. CEO Dale Bachman was on hand to take a last look at this year’s crop.
