Poinsettias were first introduced in the United States in 1825 by Joel Roberts Poinsett (20,24) (Fig. 2). While serving as the first United States Ambassador to Mexico, he visited Taxco and found the flowers growing on the adjacent hillsides.
Powdery mildew. A powdery mildew disease on poinsettias was first seen in Mexico and Puerto Rico in the late 1980s, and in Pennsylvania and the Pacific Northwest in 1990. Over a hundred growers across the U.S. were affected by powdery mildew in 1992 (16).
