Poinsettias
The Poinsettia is best known as a staple of Christmas decorations. It is also known as the Christmas Star and the Mexican Flame Leaf. It is native to South Mexico and Central America. The name Poinsettia comes from the man who introduced the flower to the United States, Joel Roberts Poinsett. The flower itself is very small. It is surrounded however by large brightly colored leaves making it seem larger.
