Thanks all, plants are doing well down here Chris, just wish I could grow some more space as well as the plants!

Hello All,

Hope everyone is well, I still drop by from time to time ! ;-)

Just thought I'd share this one as it has me pretty chuffed. 7 years from seed and on its own roots. First flowering for me!

I'd look into George's suggestion too.. Down here in Oz you cane get kitty litter trays that are ideal for moving carrying potted plants. They are usually way cheaper (about a third the price) than the proper horticultural trays and while I'm not sure how UV stable they are, I've had some in the gre...

I'm growing it here in Oz, and it is available from some nurseries here . I think you'll find it's rare in cultivation due to it being a South American Euphorbia and not an African one. So it probably doesn't show up on the usual Euphorbia seed supplier lists....
