Best Answer

The indigenous peoples in the area of Taxco were the first known group to have cultivated the poinsettia. Because of the plant's brightly blooming bract colors in December, it also came to the subsequent attentions of European missionaries and settlers in the 17th century. But widespread knowledge of its existence only ensued with the arrival of Americans from the neighboring United States in the 19th century.
