Yes, the poinsettia is a flower. It's sometimes called the Christmas flower because it's seen so widely in Christmas displays. But, the dominant red display is not the flower, it's modified leaves below the small yellow flowers.

Poinsettia would be a good gift. They are traditionally used for decoration around Christmas time, so giving them as a gift around the holidays would be appropriate.

How many poinsettia species are there?

There is just one (1) poinsettia species.Specifically, the scientific, Latin or binomial name is "Euphorbia pulcherrima." The word "Euphorbia" is the name of the genus. It identifies poinsettia as a member of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) of plants. The word "pulcherrima" is the name of the species or specific epithet.In its native southwest Mexican and Central American habitats, the poinsettia is a shrub. Outside its native range, it takes the form of one of over 100 cultivated varieties. So the scientific name further will be expanded to identify the cultivar (cultivated variety) in question.
