The poinsettia (/p??n's?ti?/ or /p??n's?t?/) (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important plant types of the diverse spurge family. The types is indigenous to Mexico. It is particularly well known for its renewable and red foliage which is trusted in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett,[3] the first USA Minister to Mexico,[4] who introduced the plant to the US in 1825.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, getting a height of 0 typically.6-4 metres (2 ft 0 in-13 ft 1 in). The herb bears dark inexperienced dentate leaves that measure 7-16 centimetres (2.8-6.3 in) in length. The colored bracts--which are most flaming red but can be orange often, pale green, cream, green, white, or marbled--are mistaken for blossom petals for their groupings and colors often, but are actually leaves.[citation needed] The colors of the bracts are manufactured through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at the same time for at least five days in a row) to improve color. At the same time, the plant life require considerable light during the full day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming and don't attract pollinators. They are simply grouped within small yellowish structures found in the center of every leaf bunch, and are called cyathia. The poinsettia is native to Mexico. It is found in the outdoors in deciduous tropical forests at modest elevations from southern Sinaloa down the complete Pacific coast of Mexico to Chiapas and Guatemala. It is also found in the interior in the hot, seasonally dry forests of Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Accounts of E. pulcherrima growing in the open in Nicaragua and Costa Rica have yet to be established by botanists. You can find over 100 cultivated types of poinsettia.

The plant was employed by the Aztecs to produce red dye and as an antipyretic medication. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is called Cuitlaxochitl, meaning "flower that grows in residues or soil" Today it is known in Mexico and Guatemala as Flor de Noche Buena, meaning Christmas Eve Flower. In Spain it is known as Flor de Pascua or Pascua, indicating Easter flower. In Peru and Chile, the place became known as Crown of the Andes. In Turkey, it is called Atat?rk's bloom because Atat?rk, the founder of the Republic, liked this blossom and made a significant contribution to its cultivation in Turkey.[citation needed] In Hungarian, it is called Santa Claus' Bloom, and it's widely used as a Christmas decoration.

The plant's connection with Christmas started out in 16th-century Mexico, where story tells of a girl, called Pepita or Maria commonly, who was simply too poor to provide a surprise for the special event of Jesus' birthday and was inspired by an angel to gather weeds from the roadside and place them before the church altar. Crimson blossoms sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the vegetation in their Holiday activities. The star-shaped leaf style is said to symbolize the Superstar of Bethlehem, and the red color represents the blood vessels sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus. Poinsettias are popular Xmas accessories in homes, churches, offices, and somewhere else across THE UNITED STATES. They are available in large numbers from grocery, drug, and hardware stores. In the United States, 12 is Country wide Poinsettia Day december.
