The following varieties stood out in the eyes of the most important critics: consumers.  \nBy Roberto Lopez, John Dole and Jim Barrett  \nFrom top: Purdue open house display; consumers evaluateall 95 cultivars at Purdue; poinsettias displayed in the greenhouse.  \nticipants attended the event. Consumers were asked to fill out a poinsettia preference and a sustainable poinsettia survey with the incentive of receiving a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of 24 poinsettia plants. All 95 cultivars were labeled with names and numbers and displayed indoors under fluorescent lighting. Participants were asked to choose their 10 favorite cultivars out of all those on display. In a separate room, selected cultivars were organized into four categories — novelty, red, white and pink — and labeled with a number, and participants were asked to choose their three favorite cultivars within each group.  \nHomewood Nursery (Raleigh, N.C.)  \nAt Homewood Nursery, customers filled out 670 surveys from Nov. 22 to Dec. 13, 2008. Consumers were asked to select their five favorite cultivars out of 40 cultivars on display. No incentives were offered to customers for filling out a survey.  \nConsumer Consensus  \nFor a second time, the celebrity of the trials was‘Ice Punch’ from Paul Ecke Ranch. Consumers in Florida, Indiana and North Carolina once again fell in love with the bright, rosy-red bracts with icy-white centers. More than 60 percent of the public ranked ‘Ice Punch’ as their favorite cultivar out of 40 to 99 cultivars displayed. At all three university trial sites, it was the favorite novelty cultivar on display. The cultivar also ranks well with growers as it has a freely branching habit, mid-season flowering response and excellent post-production longevity. In addition, it is no longer an exclusive cultivar, so ‘Ice Punch’will be available to all growers in 2009.  \n‘Cortez Burgundy’ from Syngenta Flowers was once again an overall favorite among survey participants at all four locations. Although it is a cultivar that was introduced nearly eight years ago, consumers are still attracted to its unique dark burgundy-red bracts, which age to dark red.  \nAmong cultivars that ranked in the top 10 in at least three locations were Dümmen USA’s ➧  \nN a t i o N a l P o i n s e t t i at r i a l s  \nUniversity of Florida Consumer Open House Results  \n\n| Overall Favorite\u003Cbr>(out of all 99 cultivars) | % selecting\u003Cbr>this cultivar |\n| --- | --- |\n| ‘Ice Punch’ | 62 |\n| ‘Ecke 54-06’ | 36 |\n| ‘Sonora White Glitter’ | 33 |\n| ‘Picasso Punch’ | 27 (tie) |\n| ‘Christmas Feelings Merlot’ | 27 (tie) |\n| ‘Orange Spice’ | 26 (tie) |\n| ‘Carousel Dark Red’ | 26 (tie) |\n| ‘Cortez Burgundy’ | 25 |\n| ‘Mars Red’ | 23 |\n| ‘Marblestar’ | 22 (tie) |\n| ‘Winter Rose Early Red’ | 22 (tie) |\n\n\n| Top Novelty | % in Top 3 |\n| --- | --- |\n| ‘Ice Punch’ | 27 |\n| ‘Sonora White Glitter’ | 15 |\n| ‘Ecke 54-06’ | 14 |\n| ‘Cortez Burgundy’ | 13 |\n| ‘Visions of Grandeur’ | 11 |\n| ‘Dulce Rosa’ | 5 (tie) |\n| ‘Winter Rose Dark Red’ | 5 (tie) |\n| ‘Crazy Christmas’ | 4 (tie) |\n| ‘Cinnamon Stick’ | 4 (tie) |\n| ‘Silverstar Red’ | 3 |\n\n\n| Top Red | % in Top 3 |\n| --- | --- |\n| ‘Prestige Red’ | 17 |\n| ‘Mars Red’ | 15 |\n| ‘Classic Red’ | 14 |\n| ‘Advent Red’ | 12 |\n| ‘Early Orion’ | 11 (tie) |\n| ‘Christmas Feelings Merlot’ | 11 (tie) |\n| ‘Novia’ | 9 |\n| ‘Premium Red’ | 5 |\n| ‘EuroGlory’ | 4 |\n| ‘Flame’ | 3 |\n\n\n| Favorite White | % |\n| --- | --- |\n| ‘Arctic White’ | 46 |\n| ‘Freedom Early White’ | 23 |\n| ‘Whitestar’ | 16 |\n| ‘Polar Bear’ | 13 |\n| ‘Early White’ | 2 |\n\n\n| Favorite Pink | % |\n| --- | --- |\n| ‘Polly’s Pink’ | 71 |\n| ‘Mars Pink’ | 12 |\n| ‘Pink Cadillac’ | 8 |\n| ‘Christmas Angel Pink’ | 6 |\n| ‘Classic Pink’ | 3 |\n\nTable 1.
