Poinsettia or Christmas Plant


Euphorbia Pulcherrima

Known as one of the most noticeable and attractive indoor plant, because its contrasting leaf colors, this ornamental foliage is usually used as the symbol or perfect decorative plant during the Christmas (or holiday) season.
Receiving the slanting rays of sunlight over its rough and veined leaves, it is possible known in detail their form and structure of their red and green foliage.


Interesting sort of things, especially if you are linked to the botanical area to know here about photoperiodism, that turns the top leaves into a hot red color from the former green one.


This picture was taken before the changing process of its top superior leaves which turn into the characteristic intense red hue named photoperiodism; that takes a period of time of some months.


Trying to show off quite in another way the Poinsettia, I chose to take this one, after a rainy period and during cloudy weather. Notice a small central leaf in the middle of changing from green to red.
Location: Praça Carlos Gomes - Liberdade, São Paulo - SP, 01501-040, Brazil
