Bright red poinsettia or Christmas star fresh in their glory. A native of Mexica and central America. Around the Christmas, season poinsettias are adored in many homes and a favored plant gift. The poinsettia was introduced to the USA around 1825. Decorating was not the only purpose of this beautiful plant the Aztecs used them to make red dye. The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). The species is indigenous to Mexico. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays.
