Nice, Richard. I've never seen one this mature before.

the ones I see are all about 3 inches tall, lol.

When you name it, please let me know. This is a 10-year old (or more) unknown Adenium. I am not very nice to it, so growth is slow. It has a very droopy growth habit:

Brad

Maybe I'm confused, I thought it was a Euphorbia. .

thank you Chistopher

I think you nailed it.

Richard

Lol, that's not the first time I've had that conversation....or sadly to say, nor is it the second time I've had it:

"Is this a euphorbia" "it's actually a monadenium" "ohhhh, wooooow"

See Brad? Our brains can only try to keep up with our hunger for knowledge.

You know Lati, another mistake from me today. After checking my records, I see this plant was given to me as an unknown Monadenium back in 2006. Monadenium is closely related to Euphorbia, both belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. I have provisionally identified my plant as Monadenium heteropodum, but that is unconfirmed. It sure looks a lot like Richard's plant, but older.

Christopher, how firm is that identification?

"It seems like somebody has a case of the 'Mondays'"

Has something happened in your non-plant life that has you a little distracted? Did you find out youre gonna be a dad or something? You don't have to answer.

Well Brad, for me, quite firm. Based on the leaves, the trailing growth habit, the green and white cyathia. I couldn't find a closer match, in any case. Not to say that there isn't.

Christopher

Brad you had me frightened when you said Adenium. My whole world nearly turned upside down because I thought I'd severely messed up a whole other genus of plants lol. I see now it must have been a typo.

Beautiful plants everyone, even Brad's neglected one looks wonderful :)

To my untrained eye, it looks like Christopher's is a different species than Brad's, but could be due to lower light growing conditions, I suppose?
