Poinsettia Adopted As Christmas Plant
The poinsettia, named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, U S ambassador to Mexico, became a holiday staple after he brought cuttings to South Carolina. Botanist Robert Buist then popularized the plant, which has since diversified into many varieties from tall stalks to small dwarfs and a range of reds, pinks, and whites. Poinsett also held roles as South Carolina congressman and secretary of war under Van Buren, and was connected with Madison, Monroe, Jackson, and Van Buren.
