It is particularly popular because of its red and renewable foliage and it is trusted in Holiday 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 united states in 1825.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically achieving a elevation of 0.6-4 metres (2 ft 0 in-13 ft 1 in). The vegetable bears dark green dentate leaves that measure 7-16 centimetres (2.8-6.3 in) in length. The colored bracts--which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, red, white, or marbled--are recognised incorrectly as blossom petals because of 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 plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming , nor attract pollinators. They are simply grouped within small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf number, and are called cyathia. The poinsettia is native to Mexico. It really is within the untamed in deciduous tropical forests at average elevations from southern Sinaloa down the complete Pacific coast of Mexico to Chiapas and Guatemala. Additionally it is found in the inside in the hot, seasonally dried up forests of Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Information of E. pulcherrima growing in the wild in Costa and Nicaragua Rica have yet to be confirmed by botanists. You can find over 100 cultivated varieties of poinsettia.

The plant was utilized by the Aztecs to produce red dye and as an antipyretic medication. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is named 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, meaning Easter flower. In Peru and Chile, the flower became known as Crown of the Andes. In Turkey, it is named Atat?rk's bloom because Atat?rk, the founder of the Republic, liked this blossom and made a substantial contribution to its cultivation in Turkey.[citation needed] In Hungarian, it is named Santa Claus' Flower, and it's trusted as a Xmas decoration.

The plant's relationship with Christmas started out in 16th-century Mexico, where legend tells of a woman, called Pepita or Maria commonly, who was simply too poor to give a surprise for the special event of Jesus' birthday and was encouraged 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 activities. The star-shaped leaf design is thought to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, and the red colorization represents the bloodstream sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus. Poinsettias are popular Christmas accessories in homes, churches, office buildings, and across North America anywhere else. They can be purchased in large numbers from grocery, drug, and hardware stores. In the United States, 12 is Country wide Poinsettia Day dec.
