It's coming, National Poinsettia Day is celebrated on December 12th. Celebrate by adding a pop of color to your table or mantle with one of these beautiful plants, or share one with a friend.
Did you know...?
- Poinsettias were one of the first Mexican exports. "Joel Roberts Poinsett was the first U.S, Ambassador to Mexico." He was a botanist from Charleston, South Carolina.
- "Paul Ecke Jr., a farmer in California became the father of the modern day poinsettia." He discovered a grafting technique that caused the seedlings to branch.
Have you ever tasted Poinsettia Punch? The recipe says to "blend 14 ounces of cranberry juice with 20 ounces of gingerale. Add a dash of lemon juice for a citrus zing."
