Did you know?
The poinsettia, native to Mexico, has become synonymous with Christmas and winter celebrations worldwide. Its striking red "petals" are actually modified leaves called bracts, while the true flowers are the small yellow structures at the center—a botanical surprise that delights many who stitch this iconic bloom. In Mexico, poinsettias are called "Flor de Nochebuena" (Flower of Christmas Eve) and hold deep cultural significance, often associated with the festive season and symbols of warmth and joy during the darkest winter days.
