Today's poinsettia...
...is in honor of rodneyscat.
Native flora of Mexico, the poinsettia is actually a small tree or shrub and not a flower! The traditional red leaves are a bract surrounding the golden center called the cyathia.
The beautiful legend associated with the poinsettia, of a little girl and her miraculous gift dates back to the sixtenth century Mexico.
In both Chile and Peru, the vibrant plant became known as "Crown of the Andes".
Happy Birthday, dear friend!
