As I was doing research on colored poinsettias the other day, I think that someone mentioned some kind of hybrid option in which the red and yellow poinsettias were somehow mixed so that the flower came out with 'splotched' leaves. Looking at the solid color on the center leaves in this picture, I suspect that this poinsettia was not 'grown' with the colors but rather that some kind of dye was used, which did not affect the leaves that the plant grew later on in the growing process. (Also, I'm pretty sure that poinsettias don't come naturally with sparkles. That must be a holiday bonus.)
