Euphorbia abdelkuri flowering, it tries every year but I never get a seed pod that yields seed, it would be nice to grow my own plant.

NOT Yucca endlicheana but Dracena ellenbeckiana seedling flowering at about 4/5 years old. not sure it should be doing this yet

An unusual occurrence a crested Euphorbia gorgonis flowering for the first time.

Euphorbia clavigera has a mass of flowers with some pods starting to develope already

This is a favourite, its euphorbia viguieri var. capuroniana, has orange flowers on every branch and very distinctive razor spines. Its a bit big n clumsy with all the branches so doesn't get moved much hence the untidy photo.
Then to the right is euphorbia viguieri with red flowers and inferior spines.

Tina - I am pretty certain that your second plant isn't Yucca endlichiana. Not even sure it is a yucca, tbh.

Aptly named - stunning
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
