Hello Enwebb! This has been sitting in GA nominations for a while, so I'm reviewing it.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

• The source from Gardening Know How seems a bit sketchy? Like I know it's run by gardeners but it's still a blog.
  • replaced
• Same with the Teleflora blog. Are these reliable and unbiased?
  • replaced
• The habitat and range section could be more detailed. Do you know whether it prefers rainforests or drier areas? High elevation or low elevation?
  • I've expanded the range section, making it more detailed.
• More information on ecology would be helpful. Are there any organisms that eat it? The information about pollination could go in an ecology section as well.
  • There's basically nothing known ("Shockingly, for such an important plant, nothing is known about pollination in poinsettia.") so I didn't think it was worth having a biology/ecology section with one sentence. All the sources I found about predation were in regards to cultivation, not wild poinsettias.
• The "In culture" section could perhaps discuss how the plant became more associated with Christmas. (Like mentioned in the "Cultivation" section)
  • added a sentence
• I know it isn't necessary, but alt text for the first image would be helpful.
  • added alts for all images

Other than these, the article is really good! It's very informative without being too complicated. starsandwhales (talk) 21:01, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Starsandwhales sorry it took me so long to finish this up--I think I've addressed all your concerns so far. Enwebb (talk) 17:27, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
