Poinsettia named Pink Curly

Abstract

A new pink poinsettia of the "curly" type which originated as a hybrid seedling and is distinguished by the extraordinary shape of its leaves and bracts which grow abundantly on strong, straight stems of medium height. The wide bracts overlap each other in a more-or-less counterclockwise fashion and form a round cushion-like appearance atop a column of many green leaves carried on a relatively heavy stem.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct poinsettia cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, distinguished by its many bracts of a solid pink overall color which appear in overlapping arrangement and tightly centered about the central cluster of flowers, the long tips of the bracts tending to form a counterclockwise swirl.
