The first ambassador to Mexico introduced a local plant, the Euphorbia pulcherrima, to the United States in 1825. Rather than having actual flowers, the ends of the plant, or bracts, would display leaves in various colors. We know them for the name they obtained from that ambassador, Joel Robert Poinsett. Place poinsettias near a sunny window where it will have the most available sunlight.
