December 12th is Poinsettia Day
We enjoy the colorful poinsettia all through the holiday season, but Poinsettia Day commemorates the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett, the person responsible for bringing the plant into the United States in 1928. Burkholder’s Holiday Pop Up Market has lots of the beautiful plants this year, and in honor of Poinsettia Day, we offer some interesting information about the poinsettia, called cuitlaxochitl in the native language of the Aztecs.
