With the wonderful poinsettia we received yesterday, we decided to share some facts about this flower.
Did you know the poinsettia first came to the US from Mexico around 1825 by Joel Roberts, but it was not until the 1920's that the poinsettia started to take root in American culture?
There are more than 100 varieties of poinsettia and they come in multiple colors including red, white, pink, burgundy, marbled and speckled.
Poinsettia's association with Christmas dates to 16th century Mexico. Legend tells of a girl who worried she did not have a gift to celebrate Jesus’s birthday because she was too poor. An angel (some versions it is her cousin) tells her to give any gift with love. The young girl gathered weeds from alongside the road and placed them by the Nativity in a chapel. Miraculously the weeds bloomed into beautiful red stars.
In Mexico the poinsettia is a perennial shrub that will grow 10-15 feet tall.
Thank you SIG Insurancefor the beautiful Poinsettia!
Happy First Day of Winter! The office is officially getting ready for Christmas!
