Hi shimyns,
from me too!
Your plant sure looks like Poinsettia ( Euphorbia pulcherrima) to me. Most people purchase Poinsettia as a short lived holiday plant to enjoy when the bracts are bright red and then discard them after the first of the year. The bracts/leaves of Poinsettia usually turn red late in the year when the days get shorter. You can force your plant to turn red by placing it in a location of total darkness (like a closet) for 12 to 14 hours each day ... continue this for 6 to 8 weeks and you should see a change in color. I had Poinsettia in my yard a few years ago and the ones that were in a spot where it was totally dark turned pretty red by late December; those that were near a porch light didn't change at all.
