What are the common flowers at Christmas?

Christmas flowers, also called ivory or poinsettia, are beautiful ornamental plants.

Christmas flowers have flowers themselves, but they are very small. Its female and male flowers have no petals and grow in a cup-shaped green involucre with a large yellow gland next to it. These cups synthesize cymes, forming a "flower core" that people mistakenly recognize. So its red, leaflike "petals" are actually not its flowers, but bracts arranged under cymes, which are changed from narrow leaves.

Christmas flower is the most representative flower of Christmas, and its flower language is "My heart is burning". According to legend, in ancient times, in the south of Mexico City, there was a village with fertile land and abundant water resources. Agriculture and animal husbandry are prosperous and people live and work in peace and contentment. One summer, a sudden mudslide happened, and a boulder cut off the water source, causing serious water shortage and dry land in this area. At this time, there was a brave man in the village named Pols Rima. Regardless of his personal safety, he chisels stones day and night to get water. Finally, the boulder was cut through, and the clear spring rushed out like a tiger. Rima of Polce was washed away by the water because of fatigue. People looked everywhere, but no one saw it. Time passed day by day, and one day, a herder found a beautiful flower with bright red top leaves by the river. This incident alarmed the villagers. They said: This flower is very similar to Rima of Polce. She liked to wear a red coat before her death. People named this flower "Polce Rima Flower" to commemorate those who gave their lives to fetch water. This legendary flower is the "Christmas flower" that we are familiar with today.
