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.
One of the propagated poinsettias was present to John Bartram, who handed over the plant to his friend, Robert Buist. Buist owned a nursery in Pennsylvania and is believed to be the first person to sell the plant as Euphoria pulcherrima, the botanical name of poinsettia. (See Reference 1)
