| Abstract | The magnificent color of the poinsettia is actually the top leaves of the plant, which are also called bracts, says Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension horticulturist. Poinsettia flowers emerge as inconspicuous yellow blossoms in the center of the bracts. Poinsettia bracts are light sensitive, which means their coloring is in response to the light they receive during the day, or rather, the lack of light during the night. In their native country, Mexico, they begin their colorful show about Christmas time. |
