Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...Photographed in Reno, Nevada
I took this Poinsettia outside briefly for a few pics when it started to snow...

No flower says Christmas like the beautiful Poinsettia. Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family.Many plants in the Euphorbiaceae family ooze a milky sap. Some people with latex allergies have had a skin reaction (most likely to the sap) after touching the leaves. For pets, the poinsettia sap may cause mild irritation or nausea. Probably best to keep pets away from the plant, especially puppies and kittens. Poinsettias are not poisonous. The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think of as the flowers are actually colored bracts. Poinsettias have also been called the lobster flower and the flame-leaf flower, due to the red color. There are more than 100 varieties of poinsettias available today. Poinsettias come in colors like the traditional red, white, pink, burgundy, marbled and speckled.
