Poinsettia

The Poinsettia is a flower that has been associated with Christmas tradition. Originating in Mexico where it's called "Noche Buena", meaning Christmas Eve. The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th century, when a poor girl was unable to provide a gift for Christmas, she took a poinsettia to church as her gift. The red color of the flower represents the blood of Christ and the star shaped blossom represents the Star of Bethlehem.

Poinsettias are popular Christmas decorations in homes and offices, it can be given as a simple gift during the Holiday Season.

Facts:
