Goodness me, that wasn't what I was expecting to see, but then you did call it a monster! What an unusual plant, that thing is sssssscary!

Chris, I gave you one from my euphorbia that has many sprouts. I pulled them off and planted in sandy soil. After about a year, they grew roots. Maybe lost 2 out of 10 so not too bad. I.D. not sure of. Did you cut the top off?

Gill, I am a big Euphorbia fan. So much variety, and so many unusual types.

Stush, your Euphorbia is E. anoplia. This is E. polygona 'Snowflake'.

What happened to the top portion Christopher, why did you behead it please? Hard to visualise its height, any chance of a full pic?

Yes, I don't see many euphorbs in the flesh so to speak, so I do enjoy seeing these and other interesting species here on the forum :)

Chris, I used to have E. anoplia, (zipper plant). I think this one is more on the lines of Horride which I also have and it looks a lot like it. I think it was Bikerdoc who used a solder Iron to stop top growth that left a small scare.

Gill, I will take another photo of the whole plant soon. It is not too large. The top had gotten etiolated when I lived at my old place, as I had run out of window space there, and I chopped it off because I did not like the looks of it. If I do not like the look of a plant I have, I do not have much patience for it. Either I cut it, or toss it.

aw, the little babies are so cute!
