∙ 13y agoMexico is the country where the symbolism of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) originated.
Specifically, the Aztecs of ancient Mexico considered the plant a symbol of spiritual purity. They based this interpretation on the late but spectacular color change of the plant's modified leaves from green to bright red. They therefore incorporated the plant into their religious rituals.
