CNN.com Mexico’s Spanish page covered news of the industry Dec. 2, 2014 : The Secretary of Agriculture announced that production of 19 million plants was expected this season with a value of 700 million pesos.  Most of the production occurs in Morelos (34.5%), Puebla, Michoacán, Jalisco, Oaxaca, Mexico State, and the Federal District.
Jardines de México, the largest flower garden in the world, half an hour south of Cuernavaca, has filled its Jardin de Cuatro Primaveras with poinsettias.

In addition, they have planted a sensational floral carpet of 1500 square meters made from 8000 plants

 Finally, my Santa Calavera, in his modesty, loves to have a poinsettia to cover his privates, as he wishes you all the best for a Happy Holiday Season .

Thanks, Jim – I remember seeing poinsettias all over Cuernavaca when I was there in the winter.
For some reason, when I click on what I think should be a link “See more”, nothing happens. shouldn’t it take me to an expanded story? This happened in the e-mail you sent and also when I went to the web site. Dunno why…..
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I assume you will go to Acapulco at some point during the holidays? I will be here with Nancy and Steve, which is fine after all the travel I have done this fall!

hi Susan, the “see more” thing has not appeared previously. You got the whole story, a brief one. I will wait until after Jan 1 to go to Acapulco since it is THE most popular Mexican destination and the week between Christmas and New Years is a zoo with bumper to bumper traffic, lines in restaurants, and chaos in the parking areas. I went twice in the last month so I’m not suffering. Merry Christmas to you, Nancy, and Steve.
Jim, My singing group is known for our performance of Spirit Child, a Christmas story written by one of our tenors that includes a couple of pieces in Nahuatl, so I passed on your information about the poinsettia plant, Thanks for your Christmas gift
Wishing you Feliz Navidad! Phoebe
Thanks Phoebe… keep on singing… we all need all the music possible in our lives…
best wishes for the holidays…Jim
Hi Jim, I love your Santa Calavera and his poinsettia bikini. Bob and I wish you Feliz Navidad
Hi Judy, sorry I didn’t get the usual notification of a comment. The largest flower garden in the world
opens in March 30 minutes from here. Hope your travel plans for 2014 will include a visit. My best
to you and Bob. Happy New Year.
