The flower language of the poinsettia is that my heart is burning.This flower is native to Central America and at first glance appears to have large petals, but those are actually its bracts.The bracts grow at the top and are bright red, as if they were burning.Because its ornamental season is in winter, it can also be used as Christmas flowers, especially red and white collocation, do not have a flavor.
Poinsettias are also known as Porceri flowers.Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a village south of Mexico City with fertile land and abundant water resources, but a sudden debris flow disaster cut off the water source and gradually cracked the land.A young man in the village named Porcerima, in order to make the land back to life, so he risked his life to dig stones to divert water, and finally cut, but exhausted by the current washed away.He was never seen again, but a red flower bloomed near the water, and because Porcerima liked to wear red, he named the flower Porcerima in memory of him.
Poinsettia looks very beautiful, but it has a certain toxicity.The white milk in the plant can irritate the skin, cause vomiting and diarrhea if eaten by mistake, and may cause temporary blindness if it enters the eyes, so it is not recommended to raise it at home, if you want to raise it, you must be careful to avoid children touching it.
