Christmas cactus, Norfolk Island pine, calceolaria and cyclamen follow in popularity, with poinsettias often grown outdoors in warmer regions and used as garden shrubs in the U.S. south and California. The piece describes poinsettia bracts, colors, and the cactus’s hummingbird pollination adapted flowers.
