What an experience...

The shrub occurs in some parts of central and southern Mexico, and a few localities in Guatemala.[1] The cut flowers and cultivars are often known as Poinsettias. These are named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the plant in the in 1825."
