Mexico is the country in which poinsettias are grown and known as Flower of the Holy Night.

Specifically, the poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can be found growing natively in Mexico and Central America. Its flamboyant bracts and inconspicuous flowers put on their most stunning show during the Christmas season. One of the plant's most beloved common names in many languages therefore references the display's timing by nicknaming the poinsettia the plant of the Holy Night of Jesus of Nazareth's (7-2 B.C. - A.D. 33) birth.
