Rare Euphorbia flowering

[Tina]

Hi All
just thought I'd post these photo's of two of my rare Euphorbia flowering.
The E hadraumautica is on it's own root & a seed grown plant from a contact in the US

The e.schizacantha is grafted as these are supposed to be very difficult on there own roots

That's lovely Tina. Well done.

Argh. I'm so jealous of your E. hadraumautica. I saw one on ebay recently and planned on buying it, but eventually the price went up to something like 45 euro

I've also got a grafted schizacantha and considering trying to root a branch and seeing what happens. Lovely flowers, well done keep sharing the pics of your lovely Euphorbias, I really enjoy them

Those orange flowers are really striking! One in the eye for people who think forbies have boring flowers.

Tina, hope you don't mind me gatecrashing your thread!

This is a pic of the very rare E. tulearensis, which I acquired in June (guess where from?!!). It is 7 years old from seed, and about 7cm high - a very small growing species, extremely difficult to obtain.

I have got it established, and it has put out new leaves and this week, a couple of flowers too!

A closer view - apologies the flowers are out of focus, but a nice shot of the crimped leaves!

Fantastic Diane! I have a tulearensis too, it's absolutely tiny, probably 1/2 the size of my little fingernail and has two leaves. So incredibly slow growing! Yours looks very healthy

[Diane]

Thanks Sachi! Just hope I manage to keep this one. I had one many years ago which sulked for ages before turning up its toes.

I'd love to know, as I have been looking for this for ages! Envy...

Hi Diane
Of course I don't mind, here's a photo of my E.tulearensis ( bottom right ) grown from seed by me. I can't remember the age but it's a good size. I have a few of them but have never got any seed from them.

I'm a big Euphorbia fan too so it's lovely to see these more unusual ones. I'll have to keep an eye out for these the next time I'm looking for more babies!
