What are poinsettia leaves?

The dark green plant parts that grow on the lower and middle parts of the plant stems, that have dentate(toothed) edges, and that do not change color are the leaves of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, the leaves do not grow near the stem tips where the plant's dainty, inconspicuous yellow flower emerges in December. Between the leaves and the flowers are modified leaves called bracts. True bracts immediately surround the flowers and are always red. Transitional bracts grow between the true bracts and the plant's regular, green leaves. They change color from green to red, in sync with the initiation, development and culmination of the plant's flowering process.
