Description
POINSETTIA. Abstracted overhead view of pink poinsettia emphasizes the radial pattern.
From the University of IL Extension site: Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think of as the flowers are actually colored bracts (modified leaves).
Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first US Ambassador to Mexico, introduced the poinsettia plant to the United States from Mexico. December 12th is Poinsettia Day, which marks the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1851.
