Poinsettias

I read the other week that poinsettias were the most popular winter plant in the UK. Well, that may be true, and it must be true for the USA, everywhere we went in Orlando were the distinctive green and red leaves of the poinsettia. It is a plant indigenous to Mexico and Guatemala, and first introduced to the US by the Mexican Ambassador in 1828. (Thanks Wikipedia)

Anyway, what follows isn't a particularly amazing post with lots of pictures of poinsettias.

Enjoy!
