Poinsettia Christmas Red

The poinsettia is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. The shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought of as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red-colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christ. The white leaves represent his purity.
