GENERAL JOEL ROBERTS POINSETT (1778-1851)
The gorgeous Poinsettia, the ‘Flor de Parque’ of Mexico, whose flame-like beauty greets and gladdens the Christmas season, was introduced into the United States by the distinguished South Carolinian, General Joel Roberts Poinsett, then Minister to Mexico.  Remarkable in his day as author, statesman, orator, scientist and botanist, and at one time a resident of Greenville. No gift of his genius is more prized than this flower that bears his name.”

Mild wear to edges and corners.
