I collected these seeds while visiting in Florida. The orange in the middle is much brighter than it appears in the pic. Looks kinda like a poinsetta the way the seeds are in the middle of the leaves'

It does look like a Euphorbia. Do the leaves bleed white when you break them?

It reminds me a bit of our native Wild Poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla var. cyathophora) synonym E. cyathophora.

It's found all over the state of Florida. One photo on this page sure looks like the plant in your photo: https://florida.plantatlas.usf...

Except for the very narrow leaves on Roxanne's plant. Does E. cyathophora ever have narrow leaves?

I wonder if it will survive the winter. You better start some cuttings.

Yes, they do. If you click this link to the page of the Florida Plant Atlas: https://florida.plantatlas.usf... the fourth and sixth photos show the narrow leaves:

You guys are the best! It is euphorbia cyathophora. I will try to bring it in but I'll save seeds too. Thanks!
