Christmas Flower Plant

Description

The Poinsettia, also known as the Christmas Flower Plant, is a popular ornamental plant that is native to Mexico. It is a member of the Euphorbia family and is known for its bright red and green foliage, which makes it a popular choice for Christmas decorations. The plant has a bushy growth habit and can grow up to 10 feet tall in its natural habitat. However, the poinsettia is typically grown as a small shrub or houseplant, reaching a height of 2-3 feet.

The leaves of the poinsettia are large and oval-shaped, with a deep green color. The plant's most distinctive feature is its bracts, which are modified leaves that surround the small yellow flowers. The bracts are typically bright red, but can also be pink, white, or variegated. The plant blooms in the winter months, making it a popular choice for Christmas decorations. Poinsettias are relatively easy to care for.
