Poinsettia Poinsettia (scientific name "Euphorbia pulcherrima"), also known as "Mexican flame leaf", "Christmas star", or "Noche Buena", is a sub-tropical plant native to southern Mexico and Central America. Poinsettia produces striking red flowers around Christmas time, and hence is often used as a floral Christmas Decoration. According to Mexican legend, a child who could not afford a gift to offer Christ picked some weeds from the roadside on Christmas Eve. The child was told that a humble gift, if given in love, would be acceptable in God's eyes. When the weeds were brought into church, the weeds flowered into bright red flowers, and the congregation agreed that they had witnessed a Christmas miracle. ![]()
