poin·set·ti·a: “widows mite”, “gratitude + peace”
The Legend of the “Flores de Noche Buena”/ “Flower of the Holy Night”
The “Euphorbia pulcherrima” botanical begins long ago with a peasant girl in Mexico, faced with a problem on Holy Night: she lacked the means to contribute a gift in the Christ Child ceremony at the church, as all the other children would be doing. The girl was, however, reassured that to use a modern expression, "it's the thought that counts."
Taking this advice, she picked some roadside weeds on the way to church to make a bouquet. But when she arrived at the church, and it was time for her to present her gift, the bouquet of “weeds” is commonly known as red Christmas poinsettias.
