POINSETTIA, THE POPULAR HOLIDAY PLANT NAMED AFTER A SLAVEHOLDER, MAY BE UNDERGOING A NAME CHANGE​

Poinsettia, the bright red flower that is usually associated with the holiday season, is causing controversy as people learn about the origin of its name.

According to the Associated Press, the plant is named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, a slaveholder from the 1800s who was also part of an army that removed Native Americans from their land.

Historian Lindsay Schakenbach Regele, author of Flowers, Guns and Money, wrote about how Poinsett terrorized Native Americans.

“Because Poinsett belonged to learned societies, contributed to botanists’ collections, and purchased art from Europe, he could more readily justify the expulsion of Natives from their homes,” Regele wrote.

Actually, they could go back to naming it "The Mexican Flame Flower," which is what they called it before they called it a Poinsettia.

Poinsett was kind of a bastard.

Poinsett served as Secretary of War from March 7, 1837, to March 5, 1841, overseeing the Trail of Tears, and presided over the continuing suppression of Native American raids by removal of Indians west of the Mississippi and over the Seminole War; reduced the fragmentation of the army by concentrating elements at central locations; equipped the light batteries of artillery regiments as authorized by the 1821 army organization act; and again retired to his plantation at Georgetown, South Carolina, in 1841.

He was very much of the bastard.....Not the plant's fault.

That said I never saw the purpose of giving folks a poisonous plant for Christmas if there were pets in the home.

Whatever name the faggot PC crowd tries to pin on this plant, it will, now and forever, only be known as a Poinsettia.

Anyone who tries to call it by its new faggot name should be mocked and scorned and ridiculed without a shred of mercy.

No, it isn't. But no reason to honor him by calling the plant that.

No reason to not go back to the old names.

"Mexican flame flower" or "painted leaf".[8]

I don't think the plant cares what it is called.

That said I never saw the purpose of giving folks a poisonous plant for Christmas if there were pets in the home.

We have a whole lot of traditions for Christmas that make no sense, most of them hijacked from Pagan festivals.

Bob spends too much time thinking about gay men.

Makes you wonder what he's doing on the down-low.

It's called a Poinsettia.

No human beings of any worth or relevance are going to call it anything else just because a few worthless pussies of no importance at all have decided that its common name is offensive.

Buddy is my cat. One of them, anyway. And if he could speak in human language, he would never call that plant by any name other than Poinsettia. As it is, he can only call it “meow”. But then, that's what he calls everything.

Given Poinsettia Mexican Flame Flowers are poisonous to cats, why would you have one in your house.

I don't happen to have any in my home. Neither my wife nor I are terribly good at taking care of living plants.

Poinsettia - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Poinsettias are popularly, though incorrectly, said to be toxic to humans and other animals. This misconception was spread by a 1919 urban legend of a two-year-old child dying after consuming a poinsettia leaf. In 1944, the plant was included in H. R. Arnold's book Poisonous Plants of Hawaii on this premise. Though Arnold later admitted that the story was hearsay and that poinsettias were not proven to be poisonous, the plant was thus thought deadly. In 1970 the US Food and Drug Administration published a newsletter stating erroneously that "one poinsettia leaf can kill a child", and in 1980 they were prohibited from nursing homes in a county in North Carolina due to this supposed toxicity.

An attempt to determine a poisonous dose of poinsettia to rats failed, even after reaching experimental doses equivalent to consuming 500 leaves, or nearly 1 kg (2.2 lb) of sap. Contact with any part of the plant by children or pets often has no effect, though it may cause nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting if swallowed. External exposure to the plant may result in a skin rash for some. A survey of more than 20,000 calls to the American Association of Poison Control Centers from 1985–1992 related to poinsettia exposure showed no fatalities. In 92.4% of calls, there was no effect from exposure, and in 3.4% of calls there were minor effects, defined as "minimally bothersome". Similarly, a cat or dog's exposure to poinsettias rarely necessitates medical treatment. If ingested, mild drooling or vomiting can occur, or rarely, diarrhea. In rare cases, exposure to the eye may result in eye irritation. Skin exposure to the sap may cause itchiness, redness, or swelling. It can induce asthma and allergic rhinitis in certain groups of people.​
