here's another. hope these all help. add to or take away as you see fit. make the centers pretty by starting with little green paste on wire. then add little red, snip little snips with small scissors , then dip in glue and dip in yelow dusting powder. makes it very realistic.

Write JenniferMI -- she makes a gorgeous poinsettia flower.
Thanks for all the tips. As you can see I'm a newbie and just getting acquainted with the forum. When you say write JenniferMI how do I locate her email or send her a post?
Here's her profile: http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-forum-userprofile-62630.html
You can send her a private message here or contact her via her website, sugardelites.com. If you ever want to find a member here on CC, go to the top dark purple band at the top of the page, where it says "member list" and type in the member you are looking for. It will come up with their profile. Hope that helps!! 
I used a combination of the two directions listed above to do mine. They are not hard to make at all - just time consuming!
Here is a pic of a cake I did with them on it:
