The arrival of the beautiful poinsettias in our store signals to all of us the beginning of our holiday season. The most common color of poinsettia leaves are a bright red, but also come with white, pink and many bi-colored varieties. The leaves are often mistaken for flower petals. The true flower of the poinsettia is the small yellow cluster in the center of the leaves. In the wild, poinsettia plants grow as a large shrub or small tree. Although not poisonous, many people tend to develop a dermal reaction or minor skin rash when exposed to the sap of the plant. Poinsettia, with its beautiful star-shape, is a favored seasonal flower in the United States. It is known today as the “flame leaf” or “flower of the Holy Night” in Central America.

For beautiful blooming color, come by and check out our selection of poinsettia for the season.
