About the Poinsettia
The poinsettia is a plant from Mexico and Central America, widely used in Christmas displays for its red and green coloring. The bright red parts most people take for petals are actually leaves, called bracts; the real flowers are the small yellow buds clustered in the center. It is named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, who brought the plant to the United States in the 1820s. Color this printable in festive red and green for a winter-holiday craft.
- The red parts of a poinsettia are colored leaves, not petals; the true flowers are the small yellow buds in the middle.
- The plant is native to Mexico and Central America.
- Despite a common myth, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children.
