1. Flower language introductionThe flower language of poinsettia is My heart is burning. This flower is native to Central America and at first glance appears to have large petals, but those are actually its bracts. The bracts grow at the top and are bright red, as if they are burning. Since its viewing season is in winter, it can also be used as a Christmas flower, especially the red and white combination, which has a unique flavor. 2. Legends and StoriesPoinsettia is also called Porcellia pulcherrima. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a village south of Mexico City. Originally, the land was fertile and there was plenty of water, but suddenly a mudslide disaster occurred, which cut off the water supply and caused the land to gradually dry up. There was a young man named Porcherima in the village. In order to restore vitality to the land, he risked his life to chisel stones to divert water. After he finally broke through the stones, he was exhausted and washed away by the current. People never saw him again, but a red flower bloomed by the water. Since Porcherima liked to wear red when he was alive, this flower was named Porcherima Flower to commemorate him. 3. Can you support your family?Poinsettia looks very beautiful, but it is somewhat poisonous. The white latex in the plant can irritate the skin, and accidental ingestion can cause vomiting and diarrhea. If it gets into the eyes, it may cause temporary blindness. Therefore, it is not recommended to keep it at home. If you want to keep it, be careful to avoid children's touch. |
