This is the poinsettia, a shrub with bright red bracts, which is natve to Central America. The poinsettia became associated with Christmas in North America (it is not a tradition in most other countries) after Joel Roberts Poinsettia, the first Ambassador from the US to Mexico, sent some plants back to South Carolina.
