The poinsettia was known as the Christmas Eve flower in Mexico as early as the 16th century.
Poinsettias means "My heart burns for you." In Mexico, there is a beautiful legend about the poinsettia. A long time ago in the south of Mexico City, in a village where people lived in peace and quiet, there was a sudden mudslide one summer, and a boulder cut off the water source, resulting in a serious water shortage in the area and dry land. At this time, there was a warrior named Porcherima in the village. He chisel stone for water day and night, with no regard for his own safety. Finally he chisel the boulder, so people got the water. But Porcherima was too tired and washed away by the water. People looked everywhere but did not find him. Time passed, and one day, a herder found a bright red poinsettia near the water. The villagers said that Porcherima had liked to wear a red coat, and this flower was just like him. In order to commemorate this hero, poinsettias are also called "Porcherry horse flowers".
The poinsettia is a shrub of the Euphorbia family. The white milk in the plant is mildly toxic. It is native to the Tasco region of Central America, Mexico, and has since been spread around the world. It is now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas in many countries. They hold color for a long time, are easy to transport, and come in a wide variety.
Wild poinsettias are very tall and can grow to more than 1.8 meters. However, under the continuous cultivation of human beings, most of the poinsettias we often see now can be placed in the house and the height of the desk as a pot of flowers. Not only has it become smaller, but the flowers have also become larger and more beautiful and more ornamental. Flowering indoors can last up to three to four weeks, making poinsettias one of the best-selling potted flowers at Christmas.
In addition to the changes in plant morphology, people have also cultivated many different colors and characteristics of poinsettias. In addition to the most common and most representative red, there are green, milky white, orange, spot and other colors. For people to bring more, more rich color choice and viewing experience.
