    Hi, a colleague of mine in the office gave me the plant he had in his officer before he left, but I have no idea what kind of plant it is or what it's attributes are (other than what can be seen in the attached photos). If anyone can tell me what kind of plant this is, I'd be most obliged.

    Might be Euphorbia pulcherrima, Poinsettia.

    Poinsettia would be my guess also.

    Thank you, to both of you. I'll go with poinsettia. It's a big help. Cheers!

    Junglekeeper got it, as usual. Hardly anyone bothers to keep these plants for their foliage, which is a mistake. In this photo, look on the middle step, left. The green leaves are a poinsettia.
