Hello watchers, I'm in the holiday spirit from the Tree of Life Holiday Contest and have chosen to improve this very popular article. Ultimately I hope to bring this to GA standards. Any help or feedback is welcome, but mostly just wanted to provide some background detail. Cheers, Enwebb ( talk) 20:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Other than these, the article is really good! It's very informative without being too complicated. starsandwhales ( talk) 21:01, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
"Many of these poinsettias are grown by Paul Ecke Ranch, which serves half the worldwide market and 70% of the US market."
Is there a source for this claim? Other than the Paul Ecke Ranch? 2001:1BA8:14C2:E700:F99F:65ED:6E5F:8DC2 ( talk) 21:30, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi y'all,
Given that the problematic history behind the origin of the name "poinsettia," I wanted to start a conversation here about the possibility of moving some of the alternative names like "flor de nochebuena" and "cuetlaxochitl" to the introduction as alternative names in italics. I didn't want to make this change on my own out of pocket in case there are folks who would be against the idea. Would be curious what everyone else thinks. Thanks!

Cuetlaxochitl is the just the Nahuatl name, other Indigenous peoples called it other things. The Maya called it k'alul wits, for instance. TuckerResearch ( talk) 15:24, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be some misinformation on this article. ( Here's the video that brought this to my attention, for those curious.)
I'm not much of a qualified Wikipedia editor, so I'll leave these changes to someone else. 2001:569:777B:1200:5945:C41:69A1:5CED ( talk) 05:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
