According to MedicineNet.com "While the genus (Euphorbia) to which the poinsettia plant belongs does contain some highly toxic plants, the popular poinsettia itself is not toxic." Even Snopes.com had something to say about the poinsettia myth! ttp://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/poinsettia.asp
Now, nobody said you can add them to your salad (I hear they taste awful!) but now you can feel safe bringing home a few poinsettia. They make the house feel so festive and cheery! And we have some gorgeous 3 and 4 stem beauties in the store right now! Come by and grab one for yourself or send one to a loved one. Happy Holidays!
