Golden Poinsettia fine art leaf detail, monochrome. A Potterton Garden (Kitchen), Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Actually more like a Potterton kitchen, glorious light streaming in played along the leaves of one in out kitchen, distracting me from making coffee.

 

The poinsettia Euphorbia pulcherrima is a commercially important flowering plant species of the diverse spurge family Euphorbiaceae. Indigenous to Mexico and Central America, the poinsettia was first described by Europeans in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s. Poinsettias are shrubs or small trees, with heights of 0.6 to 4 m. Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsettia#Description
