Legend of Poinsettia as Yule Flower
The poinsettia’s Christmas symbolism in the United States stems from a Mexican legend about a poor boy who placed a prayer gift before the creche on Christmas Eve and was answered by a scarlet flowering plant named Flor de la Noche Buena. It was brought to the U.S. in 1828 by Dr. Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first U.S. minister to Mexico.
