PoinsettiaRiverfire celebrates the floral emblem of the City and the annual Riverfire Festival
Brisbane adopted the Poinsettia, a native of Mexico, in 1930
More than ever the flower symbolises the increasing flamboyant cultural mix of the City`s population
Arching skyward in an aspiring and uplifting way like fireworks PoinsettiaRiverfire aims to inspire optimism and Lotus-like evoke a sense of the transcendental
The tongues of flame bracts herald transition to a new era
