can you explain what is sspecial about poinsettaas to me so i can learn something new? :]

I don't know specifically but they are a winter time flower that can't get cold. xD

I always thought it was so funny you had to keep them covered up when going from the store to your car

There's also a legend, I think from Mexico, where a little girl wants to bring baby Jesus a gift in the chapel during Christmas service, but she's so poor and can't afford any. Her cousin tells her that Jesus would certainly be delighted by even the smallest gift if it comes from someone who loves him. So she picks some weeds from the roadside and makes them into a bouquet which she lays down at the nativity scene. Then suddenly those weeds turn into beautiful red flowers, and those were poinsettias.

see somebody knew!

I know a lot of weird stuff. That's how my mind works - ask me any common knowledge and I'll give you a blank stare, but tell me pistachios can heat themselves up to spontaneous combustion if too many of them are shipped too tight in a container, or that some retirement homes have fake bus stops in front of them to stop dementia patients from wandering off, and I'm going to remember that forever.

I love interesting facts. I can't think of any off the top of my head right now but if I do I'll share! http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...psajpxlor3.jpg

Well, I guess I'll make do with the poinsettia then :p-cute:

I beat a ninja turtle to it? Now I feel doubly proud!
