The poinsettia (/p??n's?ti?/ or /p??n's?t?/) (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important vegetable species of the diverse spurge family. The kinds is indigenous to Mexico. It really is particularly well known because of its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral exhibits. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett,[3] the first United States Minister to Mexico,[4] who introduced the plant to the US in 1825.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically getting a height of 0.6-4 metres (2 ft 0 in-13 ft 1 in). The place bears dark renewable dentate leaves that solution 7-16 centimetres (2.8-6.3 in) in length. The shaded bracts--which are most flaming red but can be orange often, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled--are recognised incorrectly as rose petals for their groupings and colors often, but are actually leaves.[citation needed] The colors of the bracts are created through photoperiodism, and therefore they require darkness (12 hours at the same time for at least five days in a row) to change color. At the same time, the crops require numerous light through the full day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming , nor attract pollinators. They are really grouped within small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf bunch, and are called cyathia. The poinsettia is native to Mexico. It really is within the outdoors in deciduous tropical forests at average elevations from southern Sinaloa down the entire Pacific coast of Mexico to Chiapas and Guatemala. It is also found in the interior in the hot, dry out forests of Guerrero seasonally, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Accounts of E. pulcherrima growing in the open in Nicaragua and Costa Rica have yet to be verified 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 well 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, signifying Easter flower. In Chile and Peru, the flower became known as Crown of the Andes. In Turkey, it is called Atat?rk's rose because Atat?rk, the creator of the Republic, liked this rose and made a substantial contribution to its cultivation in Turkey.[citation needed] In Hungarian, it is called Santa Claus' Blossom, and it's widely used as a Holiday decoration.

The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico, where story tells of a girl, called Pepita or Maria commonly, who was too poor to give a present for the party of Jesus' birthday and was motivated by an angel to assemble weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the cathedral altar. Crimson blossoms sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the plants in their Christmas get-togethers. The star-shaped leaf design 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 Holiday designs in homes, churches, offices, and across North America somewhere else. They are available in good sized quantities from grocery, drug, and hardware stores. In the United States, December 12 is National Poinsettia Day.
