Can poinsettias be yellow

Answer 1

Yes, poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can be blue.

Specifically, this achievement reflects the scientific and technological changes of the 20th and 21st centuries. Among the possibilities that such changes offer is the ability to access a plant's internal structure and affect its biochemistry. For example, red, purple or blue colors are due to the presence of pigments called anthocyanins. Other pigments include the chlorophylls responsible for green colors and the carotenoids responsible for ivory, orange and yellow colors.

Answer 2

Yes, yellow can be one of the color options in terms of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).

Specifically, color options refer to the change that the plant's modified leaves undergo in tandem with the preparation to flower. The modified leaves are called bracts. Those immediately around the dainty, inconspicuous yellow flower are called true bracts. In nature, they are always red. Those bracts between the true red bracts and the plant's regular leaves start out green but change to red.

But varieties can be cultivated so that poinsettia bracts sport other color options. Yellow is one of the many bright possibilities available nowadays.

Answer 3

Yes, poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can be pink in color.

Specifically, pink is one of the basic color options regarding poinsettia bracts. The bracts are the modified leaves that are located between the flower and the plant's regular, green leaves. A beautiful example is the cultivated variety named "Eckespoint 'Enduring Pink'."
