Poinsettia
Deep red bracts in a rosette are produced above the dark green leaves that are slightly curved. The bright gold flowers (cyathia) tucked within the center of the bracts are larger and last longer than in most varieties of poinsettia.
Keep poinsettias in a brightly lit environment with good air movement and poke a hole in the bottom of the wrapping paper to make sure the soil drains after watering for the longest indoor displays.
