Did you know that poinsettias were native to Guatemala and Mesoamerica? We call them pascuas in Guatemala and I believe they are called noche buenas in Mexico.
There’s an interesting article in Prensa Libre entitled: Pascuas que cambian de colores (Poinsettias of different colors) in which I learned that, according to industry statistics, Guatemala is the top grower of poinsettias in the world. Guatemala produces 60 million poinsettias which represents 80% of the production in the world. How about that?
