I am doing a project over the legend of a poinsettia...does anyone have any suggestions??

OpenStudy (liliakarina):

I live in Mexico, we use that plant for decoration in Christmas. It turned important because of the legend. The name comes from Joel R. Poinsett who was rejected and expeld from Mexico, but he took some of poinsettia seeds. There's the reason of why they're called like that.

thank you so much LiliaKarina

You're welcome. You may also wanna know that J. R. Poinsett was a botanist, ambassador at Mexico, though Mexicans considered him as a 'busybody', and they even coined the word 'poinsetism' to refer foreign intervention in the country. :)
