Poinsettia

All primary poinsettia colors in a patch in Merry Meadow.

The poinsettia is a type of flower and is the event flower for the Give & Gather Celebration. Because it is an event flower, it only can be obtained by playing during the Give & Gather Celebration. During the Give & Gather Celebration, poinsettias have a random chance at appearing in empty flower plots in the Merry Meadow every day at reset.

The poinsettia's default colors are █ white and █ red. Other colors can be obtained through crossbreeding only during the Give & Gather Celebration or in the Greenhouse.

When fertilized, poinsettias have a chance at gaining a patch pattern by default, even outside of the event period.

Event Flower Exceptions

New poinsettias can spawn only during the Give & Gather Celebration event or if inside the Greenhouse. Poinsettias must be able to spawn in order to obtain new colors and non-default patterns.

Poinsettias can gain their default pattern in any location at any time of the year through fertilization. Also, patterned Poinsettias are able to transfer their color or their pattern out to other flower types at any time of the year, in line with the normal color and pattern transfer rules, even if not in the Greenhouse.

As an event flower, the poinsettia does not have seed packets. Only grown plants or older can be successfully moved with the Trowel. Plants at the seed and sprout stages give a warning if an attempt to trowel them is made, and the seed or sprout disappears if the player chooses to continue. Plucked flowers cannot be used to make new seeds at the Seed Dispenser. Instead, they may be used only for decoration, crafting, or composting.

Colors

Like other flowers, it is possible for Poinsettias to gain all flower colors through breeding, but only during the Give & Gather Celebration or in the Greenhouse. Refer to the "Crossbreeding" guide on the Flowers page for more details.

For colors that require color transfer only, the player should crossbreed any color of Poinsettia with a patterned flower from another type. The flower should have the desired color as its primary color, not its pattern color. For example, a blue & white ombre bellbutton can possibly transfer its blue color when crossbred with poinsettias. Again, this only works during the Give & Gather Celebration (anywhere) or in the Greenhouse (at any time of year).

The following are what the default colors look like with the default pattern, patch. The default pattern has a 1% chance of appearing with each application of Fertilizer to a non-patterned flower.
