For poinsettia day
December 12 poinsettia day .I know it from our ikolam calender. Celebrate National Poinsettia Day! The poinsettia is a blossoming plant with beautiful red and green foliage, which makes it a very popular decoration during the holiday season. Although it is native to Mexico, 90% of all poinsettias are exported from the United States. The Aztecs considered poinsettias a symbol of purity because of their brilliant red color.
Joel Roberts Poinsettia, the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, introduced these gorgeous flowers to the United States in the 1820s. While visiting Taco, Poinsettia found the flowers growing on a hillside and sent some of them to his home in South Carolina. The flowers grew well in his greenhouse and Poinsettia began distributing them. The name “poinsettia” soon became the accepted name of the flower in English-speaking countries.(This news taken from net)
One more matter,I drew it on coral draw and edited on photo shop.
