#5311 - ($1.15) Poinsettia

Poinsettias are native to Mexico and Central America and were first mentioned by Europeans in the 1830s. They are known for their red and green foliage and are as much a part of the holidays as evergreens and mistletoe. Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States minister to Mexico, is recognized as the person who introduced the plant to the U.S. in the 1820s. Scott 5311 ($1.15) Poinsettia
