This is an image of a poinsettia flower. The poinsettia is a flowering shrub native to Mexico and Central America. It has red bracts, which are the petal-like leaves that surround the small, yellow flowers at its center. The poinsettia is known for its bright red color, which is often used in holiday decorations and as a symbol of Christmas. The poinsettia is not a true flower, but rather an inflorescence made up of many small flowers that develop from buds on the plant's stem. The bracts, which are the large, leaf-like structures surrounding the flowers, are actually modified leaves that have developed in place of true flowers. Poinsettias are relatively easy to grow and are popular as houseplants, particularly during the holiday season. They prefer bright, indirect light and well-drained soil. Proper watering and fertilizing can help keep them healthy and vibrant.
