The poinsettia (/p??n's?ti?/p or /??n's?t?/) (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important place types of the diverse spurge family. The species is indigenous to Mexico. It is specifically popular because of its renewable and red foliage and is also widely used in Christmas floral displays. 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 attaining a height of 0.6-4 metres (2 ft 0 in-13 ft 1 in). The flower bears dark green dentate leaves that strategy 7-16 centimetres (2.8-6.3 in) long. The colored bracts--which are most flaming red but can be orange often, pale green, cream, green, white, or marbled--are often mistaken for rose petals because of their groupings and colors, but are actually leaves.[citation needed] The colors of the bracts are manufactured through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at a time for at least five days in a row) to change color. At the same time, the plants require abundant light through the full day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming and do not attract pollinators. They may be grouped within small yellow structures within the center of each leaf number, and are called cyathia. The poinsettia is local to Mexico. It is within the untamed 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. Studies of E. pulcherrima growing in the wild in Nicaragua and Costa Rica have yet to be proved by botanists. You will find over 100 cultivated types of poinsettia.

The Aztecs used the plant 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, meaning Easter flower. In Chile and Peru, the vegetable became known as Crown of the Andes. In Turkey, it is named Atat?rk's rose because Atat?rk, the founder of the Republic, liked this flower and made a significant contribution to its cultivation in Turkey.[citation needed] In Hungarian, it is named Santa Claus' Rose, and it's trusted as a Xmas decoration.

The plant's relationship with Christmas started in 16th-century Mexico, where tale tells of a woman, called Pepita or Maria commonly, who was too poor to give a surprise for the celebration of Jesus' birthday and was inspired by an angel to assemble 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 crops in their Xmas celebrations. The star-shaped leaf routine is said to symbolize the Legend of Bethlehem, and the red color represents the bloodstream sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus. Poinsettias are popular Holiday designs in homes, churches, office buildings, and anywhere else across North America. They are available in large numbers from grocery, drug, and hardware stores. In america, Dec 12 is National Poinsettia Day.
