This is such a limited history. How can you ignore the fact that it is rooted in Aztec history, specifically? It was also a flower used by Catholics as proof that Indians should be forcibly converted (which is part of a legend). Poinsett was Secretary of War and loathed Indigenous Americans, helping to force them westwards which is ironic since this plant is native to the Americas and was so important in Indian history. Tell the whole story. It is only fair.
