As a gardener (family business) we cultivated these for many years. They usually arrived to our greenhouses in early August. And right about now they are ready.

We also have poinsettias growing pretty wild and tall in gardens in Sydney. As for the names winter and summer, the same applies in many tropical regions where it rains during the hot, humid season and the dry season is also a cooler one!

Poinsett was a lousy first ambassador to Mexico, so it's good that he at least had a green thumb and brought the plant to the U.S. I've never heard of any other origin. Joel R.

It really ticks me off when I am back home and during the warm months people talk about how it is invierno. My parents and I have had enough of these endless conversations about why it is called that way, over a couple cold Cabros :-). As for the slogan, as far as I remember, we are called the land of eternal spring simply because everything is always green - well, trees and plants, not grass out in the fields.

Probably a tourism organization/ministry. I never realized how far up north you are until just now! Maybe the people who decided to call the rainy season winter wanted Guatemala to be part of South America. Thanks so much for the tips about Guatemalan Textile places of interest. The slogan?
