Christmas flowers 2015: Taylor Co. bush thinks it's poinsettia 2015-12-25 - Old Columbia Road, Campbellsville, Taylor Co. KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM photo. This confused bush was in bloom on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2015. Must have been thinking it was the first day of Spring rather than the third day of winter; or perhaps it just wanted to share the limelight with poinsettias. It was a cheery sight on a beautiful Christmas eve, regardless of the confusing season, which, oh yes, brought a tornado on the same street, Old Columbia Road, Taylor County, KY.
