I wonder wether "haunted planet" is the right forum, anyway :

Q: (L) Hello.
A: Hello. Poinsettia.
Q: (L) What?
A: Just came to mind.
So I made some researches about Poinsettia.

You'll find some general information about this beautiful plant here :

In addition Poinsettia carries some symbolic meaning.

* there's a legend explaining why it's called the flower of the holy night :

* in French it is also called "
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose

The Rose.
