All About Poinsettias
Poinsettias are a strange plant, different from almost anything we purposely grow. It has a highly unusual beauty, with colorful bracts being the main focal point, brought on by a curious ritual of alternating light and darkness. It is poisonous and, other than its ornamental nature, isn't particularly useful, but it does bring a beauty and color at a time of year when little else is growing, and that makes it the most popular December garden purchase in the country.
