HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Poinsettia
POINSETTIA FLOWERING HEAD Poinsettia Euphorbia pulcherrima is a native of Mexico, and in Central America the plant may grow to a height of 2 metres. Like many members of the Spurge Family it has tiny flowers that have no petals or sepals but just the parts that produce the male and female spores, the stamens and pistils. What appears to be the flower is really a whorl of red bracts surrounding the flowers. Poinsettia is popular as a potted plant for the Christmas season. [CH] {FW}
