The Poinsettia It was Christmas eve in a small town in Mexico. Everyone joined the procession to the church, bearing fine gifts to place at the manager- except for one poor peasant girl. She was crying becasue she had no gift for Baby Jesus. Suddenly an angel appeared saying, 'Whatever you give from your heart will make Jesus happy." So the little girl gathered green weeds from the roadside and carried them to church. As she reached the manger, the crown of each plant turned brillant red, making a bouquet of beautiful scarlet flowers . Poinsettias for the Baby Jesus. The poinsettia is a plant native of Mexico. It is known there as the flor de Nochebuena - the flower of the good night or holy night. It is known as a winter flower , and traditional Christmas flower.
