Description
In its wild form, the Poinsettia is a shrub or small tree,
I photographed this beautiful flower in Iao Valley, Maui.
Aztecs would use the bracts to produce a reddish purple dye.
The Poinsettia is popular as a Christmas ornamental flowering plant.
The actual flowers of a Poinsettia are the yellow structures called "cyathia" that the red bracts surround.
