The flower language of poinsettia is that my heart is burning. This kind of flower is native to Central America. At first glance, it has large petals, but they are actually its bracts. The bracts grow at the top and are bright red, as if they were burning. Because its viewing season is in winter, it can also be used as Christmas flowers, especially red and white, with a different flavor.

II. Legends

Poinsettia is also called Polcherima flower. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a village in the south of Mexico, where the land was fertile and had plenty of water, but suddenly there was a mudslide, which cut off the water and caused the land to gradually dry up. There is a young man named Polcherima in the village. In order to bring the land back to life, he risked his life to chisel the stone to draw water. When he finally cut it, he was exhausted and washed away by the current. He was never seen again, but a red flower appeared by the water, and because Polcherima liked to wear red, he named it Polcherima in memory of him.
