yes, poinsettia, given as gifts on christmas in north american countries... comes in 40 cultivars... different colors and branching patterns and maturity dates that can be suited for all the 50 states and canada... are grown... This spectacular show is thanks to a virus called Phytoplasma.... Poinsett introduced it in 1825 to USA from Mexico, where legend says that the poinsettia became associated with Christmas because the Mexicans regarded it as symbolic of the Star of Bethlehem, after the jesuit priests had been preaching and converting natives in Mexico in the 17th and 18th century... strangely it is called "Flor de Pascua", = "Easter flower" in spanish. On the Island of Madeira I saw them growing wild and huge, and red as well as yellow.
no surprise... it grows profusely in Kolkata, Flower bracts are red in Feb thru august or so, monsoon sees the red color reduced... the picture enclosed was taken in Murshidabad Museum grounds in April 2011 Have seen them grow profusely upon establishing roots from the xmas plant ... in Southearten USA backyards... I had many... only thing they needed in the garden was atleast two months of total darkness... not street lights stealing in... if it did...no flowers... efloraindia: 031011 BRS 55: Pl. find the attached file contain photo of Poinsettia (*Euphorbia pulcherrima)*, Location NBNP garden, Anaikatti, Coimbatore Dist.,

Euphorbia for ID : 110112 : AK-2: Again these pictures of Euphorbia species taken at the same plant nursery. A small potted plant. Was told this was not Poinsettia but this was known as 'Fireball' Kindly confirm id. Some cultivars of Poinsettia {Euphorbia pulcherrima]. Yes, as ... says ps there are hundreds of cultivars in trade.... thin narrow leaves, braoder shorter leaves... leaves of many colors... bracts that open in middle of summer as in august or in time for christmas etc etc.... commonly known as poinsettia fireball (dwarf) very beautiful capture ...
In the first pic I can see maharashrian rangoli (Laxminchi pavale) very nicely drawn and colored and two triangular tips probably of chandani. I like our paramparik rangolis very much. This has really added something unique to the feel of the pictures The pots were kept near the sales counter of the nursery, thats how you can see the Rangoli. I took these pictures & went for a round in the nursery, by the time I returned, the pot with red flowers was already gone...I mean sold. Another picture of a flower I was trying to click, I think Gazania...a lady came & picked up the pot right in front of my eyes and I was left holding the camera! No picture! Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia)-MN130112: Sending photos of Euphorbia pulcherrima - commonly called Poinsettia from my balcony garden. Place : Dombivli Date : 13.01.12 The beautiful red bracts appear during the winter. did you just buy it as such... or has been growing all summer in your balcony and just turned red? I bought it as a small plant three years back from a nursery. Yes the red bracts appear just when the winter starts and by the Christmas time all the bracts are bigger and more red and the plant looks very beautiful. The bracts will be there till March and then all be fell down. I just gave a light pruning in March and the plant become tall with green leaves. No synthetic fertilisers, just cow dung and worm tea for its growth. That's impressive... that it "flowers" in a balcony... Now I need advice: when you say cow patty... is that the dried stuff? or manured form , and how much per pot... how much does it reek of its nature? and Worm manure tea: how is it done in India and how much do you put in and how often... The questions are because... am a bit confused about the "natural" stuff used here ... seems what I get at the local nurseries... in powdered form may not be all that they say it does... Cow dung we get here in the dried form. Two handful each pot every three months. Worm tea I prepare myself. I got a worm bin from which I get the worm castings (worm manure) which I mix two handfuls for 1 litre of water and spray on the leaves every week and the remaining tea I put in the soil. It is a good tonic as well as organic pesticide. The plus point is that there is no side effects and no smell as in fish meals etc. Hooghly -> Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch: Attaching images of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch, photographed yesterday, in Hooghly.

The poinsettia's species name pulcherrima means "most beautiful" and that it is! Euphorbia pulcherrima is named after Dr. J.R. Poinsett, and was introduced to gardeners in the early 19th century. The species is a tall, rangy shrub that grows to a height of 10 ft. It has large, dark green, oval leaves that are "toothed" on the sides and pointed at the tips. They emerge from smooth green erect stems. Flowers are borne at the stem tips in winter. The actual flowers are quite small (they are the yellow structures at the center of the brilliantly colored "bracts") The bracts are actually modified leaves - in the species there usually are 8 to 10 bracts that are 4-7 in long Euphorbiaceae Fortnight : Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch.
