Classic Christmas with Poinsettia

I personally love all about poinsettia, although it’s just the artificial one. Poinsettia can bring Christmas classic atmosphere to your house. Poinsettia or Flor de la Noche Buena (The Flower of Holy Night) is a native Mexican plant. The Indian Aztec from central Mexico grew the plant and used this plant to make a reddish purple dye. On the 17th century, Poinsettias were used by Mexican Franciscan priests to celebrate the Fiesta of Santa Pesebre (a native Mexican procession). So, how Poinsettia can be spread around the world?

On 1828, a US ambassador for Mexico, Joel Robert Poinsett (picture above), brought this pretty plant to the United States. Now, we know where the name of Poinsettia came from. Furthermore, on 1834, a US nursery man, Robert Buist, brought poinsettia to Europe. Then, in 1900s, it became a part of American Christmas tradition. In fact, in the US, there is a National Poinsettia Day on December 12, to honor Joel Poinsett and the poinsettia.

Talking about Christmas, without legend surround it, is not complete. Poinsettia also has it own story. Long time ago, on a Christmas Eve, a poor little boy walked to the church with the purpose to celebrate Christmas. But, he was too poor to buy a gift to be put in the manger. Then, on his road to church, an angel appeared to him and asked him to take weeds from the side of road as gift to baby Jesus. After that, he put the weeds in the manger and began to pray. Magically, the weeds transformed into star shaped flowers of bright red. That now we call it Poinsettia.

Today the beautiful flower of Poinsettia can be seen on the Christmas stocking, table cloth, bedding set, and many more. Yup, poinsettias become inspiration for creative people to be applied on many goods, like you can see below. Enjoy…….
PS: Although Poinsettias have some various colors like white, pink, but I prefer to choose the bright red flower, because in my opinion it looks prettier 
