Stepping into Darrell Norris & Son Greenhouses in November is like stepping into an ocean of red, sprinkled with pink and white.
The senses are almost overwhelmed with the site of row upon row of poinsettias in colors from the traditional red to pink and white.
Recently awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce for their efforts at successfully expanding and growing the seasonal flower business and creating new jobs for the area, Darrell Norris & Son Greenhouses have been able to successfully grow what can be a challenging greenhouse crop.
The more than 50,000 rooted poinsettia cuttings arrive in trays and are transplanted into pots. “This is the only plant we sell that is not grown by us from seed,” Norris said.
