Poinsettias are native to Mexico and are in the Euphorbia family. Poinsettia flowers are actually made up of bracts, which look like petals. Poinsettias are not toxic to animal or human health. When trimmed or cut the sticky white sap can cause a skin rash and your pets or children will have unpleasant stomach problems if this sap gets into their mouth or is digested, but they would need to digest quite a few leaves. Colours range from creamy white to pink to traditional bright red. Some have bracts with patterns in red and white, pink and white, or green and white and even bright orange. There are also rose varieties. Poinsettias such as blue or purple are cream-colored varieties that are sprayed with floral paint and are sometimes sprinkled with glitter. Poinsettia flowers can also be used as a cut flower. With proper care, your holiday poinsettia can remain attractive for weeks after you receive or buy this beautiful Christmas plant.
