| 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. |

| Interesting texture and pattern to the photo. Made me look ~ just to see what it was. Very nice. Be content moving inch by inch because, by days end, the inches, will add up to feet and yards. Fulfilling ambitious objectives is usually done one step at a time. |

| Baja, you have the most interesting succulents & cacti! =O "...bisexual cyathia with green glands" What glands? Can you please give us a closeup?  Learn & create something every day. Our Duck Pond The thread "Pool to Natural Pond Conversion" in Ponds and Water Gardening forum |

| 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.   |
