The History of Poinsettias

2009-11-13T09:19:00.000-08:00

This year has rushed by and the holiday's are just around the corner. We have received our first shipment of poinsettias. Poinsettias are a beautiful plant that is a popular and fun holiday gift to send to a friend or family member. But did you know the poinsettia plant has a very interesting history? The Aztecs originally used the dye of the plant to color textiles and cosmetics. The poinsettia plant, native to Central America was brought to South Carolina by Joel Poinset (hence the name poinsettia.) Poinset was the ambassador to Mexico under President Madison. Legend has it that the poinsettia became a symbol for the holidays when a young boy in Mexico approached a church for Christmas with a handful of leaves because he was too poor to afford flowers. Upon arriving at the church the weeds were changed into poinsettias. Poinsettias have a rich and colorful history and have come to symbolize winter and the holiday season for many different cultures and religions.

Did you know there is an art to indoor plant arrangement? There is and it is called plantscaping. Plantscaping involves finding plants to be placed in indoor buildings to add style and elegance to the atmosphere. What a difference a few few plants can make! A few strategically added plants can transform even the most dull space into a place of tranquility. We at Petals specialize in the installation and maintenance of indoor plants. Our trained staff has made many commercial interiors in the DC metro area a more pleasant and memorable place to be.
