It isn't in the Bible as it is a tropical American plant
Here is a link to the "Legend of the Poinsettia" which you may be referring to:

The poinsettias "bloom" around Christmastime.
That's why they're often used as Christmas decorations.
They originate in Mexico, and trans-ocean travel from/to there & the Middle East (where the Bible originated) was not available at the time of the first Christmas.
