The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is indigenous to Mexico & Central America.

It was called Cuetlaxochitl by the Aztecs, who cultivated it and used it in traditional medicine.

In Mexico today, it is known as Flor de Nochebuena or 'Christmas Eve flower'.

Angraecum sesquipedale is known as the Christmas/Star of Bethlehem orchid as it flowers in December.

Charles Darwin believed that an undiscovered moth with an extraordinarily long proboscis pollinated it.

He would be proved correct 21 years after his death.
