Legend of Poinsettia Origin in Mexico
A Mexican town tale explains the poinsettia’s origin from a poor boy who prayed at Christmas. He plants a scarlet flower with a yellow center as an offering for the Christ child, later named The Flower of the Holy Night. An American ambassador, Dr. Poinsett, later carried it to the United States.
