Not that I’ve heard. They don’t come in as many colors as roses (at least not naturally). Red, of course, and pink and white…there are more colors now – I’ve seen purples and blues – but they are painted.

This “Christmas flower” … white, pink, orange and red poinsettias… bring wishes of mirth and celebration.

The poinsettia is associated with Christmas because of a 16th century tale of a child who was too poor to bring a gift to baby Jesus on the celebration of his birth. Some say it was an angel that assured the child that it was OK to bring a bouquet of weeds found by the roadside to the altar as a gift because it really is the thought that counts. A miracle gave the child the present that could be bought by no one; the weeds blossom into a vivid, beautiful poinsetta. This flower reminds us that: “Even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes.” From that day on, the beautiful bright flowers were known as the Flores de Noche Buena, or Flowers of the Holy Night, for they bloomed each year during the Christmas season.

Native to Mexico, the poinsettia plant was also thought to be symbolic of the Star of Bethlehem in the 18th century. The actual flower of the poinsettia is small and yellow. Surrounding the flower are large, bright red, pink or white leaves, often mistaken for flower petals.

The poinsettia was first been used in connection with Christmas in the 17th century when Mexican Franciscans included the flowers in their Christmas celebration.

All the beautiful colors of the poinsettia reminds us of the miracle of Christmas.
Good luck! Hope this is helpful.
