The poinsettia in the shape of bottles and umbrellas highlighted the exhibition. They had been cultivated for three years and were over 2 meters in height. Decorated with colorful ball ornaments, the poinsettia added a Christmas atmosphere and left the visitors deeply impressed.

Since the 19th century, the poinsettia, a native plant from Mexico, has been associated with Christmas. Poinsettias are popular Christmas decorations in homes, churches, offices, and elsewhere across North America.
