Poinsettias:
The poinsettia is a flower that is grown in Mexico and is used in the Mexican Christmas celebration. There is a story of why they use the flower in their celebrations. A little boy named Pablo was walking to the church in his village to visit the Nativity scene, when he realized he had nothing to offer the Christ Child. He saw some green branches growing along the roadside and gathered them up. Other children laughed at him, but when he laid them by the manger, a brilliant red star-shaped flower appeared on each branch, and that is what we see when we look at a poinsettia.
