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)[reply]

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)[reply]
