Vacation Gear Prepares For The Holidays with Poinsettias

Aside from the the Christmas Tree itself, no plant symbolizes Christmas quite like the poinsettia. More than 2 million will be sold this year, making it the largest potted flower crop grown in the United States!

Now, the reason blazing red (and now pink, white, orange, plus combinations of these colors) poinsettias are the Christmas flower in the United States is an accidental discovery by Joel Roberts Poinsett (1779–1851), an American statesman and the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico in 1828. Soon, the plants became popular across the U.S. and were renamed for Poinsett. They didn’t become traditional holiday decorations until the entrepreneurial Ecke family started promoting them a century later.

While we know the plant as an indoor plant, in Mexico poinsettias grow to be large woody shrubs, often reaching 10 feet tall. The ancient Aztec Indians of Mexico cultivated and regarded this plant as a symbol of purity before Christianity came to the western hemisphere.

Visiting the area in December – poinsettias are every where as a favorite way to feel the Holiday Spirit when snow is missing!
