This is such a lovely poem for your friends. It seems to tell a story too. I love Poinsettias too. My mother always filled the living room with several every year.

The Poinsettia is a traditional Christmas plant grown and harvested in tropical locations like Jamaica they are indeed beautiful most people think that the plant are green with green leaves and red the red leaves are the flowers while actually they do produce a flower in your home the point said it becomes the marriage colored flower December become the favorite month to be married and again the point setter not only represents the writers friends life and love but also the love after the death well written with excellent descriptive measures thanks for this talk to Ricky 1024

A bittersweet poem about two people and their love.

A poinsettia is a strange flower to be two peoples' favorite. I love them. They remind me of Christmas, which is a good thing.

Apparently, they were important to your friends you wrote the poem for. What a wonderful gift!

Oh, what a lovely poem. Poinsettias do make a statement, so bold, colorful and striking. Well worded to describe how meaningful they had been in the friends' lives. Marilyn
