1、 Flower language introduction

The flower language of poinsettia is that my heart is burning. This flower is native to Central America. At first glance, it has huge petals, but in fact, it is its bracts. The bracts grow at the top and are bright red, just like burning. Because its viewing season is in winter, it can also be used as Christmas flowers, especially with red and white.

2、 Legend story

Poinsettia is also called polcherima flower. It is said that in ancient times, there was a village in the south of Mexico City. Originally, the land was fertile and the water source was sufficient, but there was a sudden debris flow disaster, which cut off the water source and gradually cracked the land. There was a young man named polcherima in the village. In order to revive the land, he risked his life to chisel stones for water. Finally, he was exhausted and washed away by the current. People never saw him again, but a kind of red flower came out by the water. Because polcherima liked to wear red before his death, this flower was named polcherima flower to commemorate him.

3、 Can you support your family

Poinsettia looks very beautiful, but it has a certain toxicity. The white milk in the plant will stimulate the skin, and ingestion will also cause vomiting and diarrhea. If it enters the eyes, it may lead to temporary blindness. Therefore, it is not recommended to raise it at home. If you want to raise it, you must be careful to avoid being touched by children.
