| Cool banner Baja! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| Thank you all for the kind words and the acorn. As requested, a cyathium closeup from the image above.  Parts labeled G=nectar gland (5 per cyathium) F=female (1 central 3-part structure) M=male (most already broken off in the wind) For comparison, here is a male (only) Euphorbia with reddish glands. |

EscondidoCal said:Euphorbia flanaganii? E. flanaganii has yellow cyathia (glands): I have tried to figure out the ID of the plant in the banner (as did the guy I got it from originally) but have found no obvious candidates. |

| I love the Euphorbia banner, Baja! And I especially like the photo where you labeled: female, male and nectar glands. I always get confused and this helps a lot! Thanks. "Gardening is a humbling experience"--Martha Stewart |

| If anyone is interested in one, I just purchased a 1 gal E. flanaganii-medusa, bare root for $33 free shipping here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listin... BTW, on Amazon, they list for $71 for a 9" pot.  It lists for $45, but that's apparently a glitch. Contact the seller, Eva, if you'd like one for $33 free shipping (USA) Tell her "Cal sent me". ps- if anyone knows a better source, please let me know. Learn & create something every day.

Forgive my sense of humor but I though the martians had landed.  Had to take a closer look, thanks for posting the various forms of the Euphorbia.   |
