Euphorbia pulcherrima. Come again?

This is better known in other countries as Poinsettia. In Mexico is also known as Noche Buena. But I guess you did’t know it is originally from Mexico and Central America?

It was first introduced into the US in 1825 by Joel Roberts Poinsett first United States Minister to Mexico (Wikipedia).

Well, now this flower belongs to the world!
