I went into my database submitted images and used that cool feature that Dave added to narrow down the photos to just euphorbias and it's a Euphorbia (Euphorbia x martini)

Nope, soft, more like a leaf.

Many of the euphorbia blooms are 'freaky kewl'! Taking macro shots of them really lets you see the details.

Its so wondrous to follow such a tiny flower into the nature of our world in such deeper, greater and finer detail... I just took a web/ATP side trip to learn more about these fascinating plants. Thanks!
