Why didn't I spot this before?
Maria, it's a symmetrica! (btw, is it flowering? we might be able to tell the sex now. Mine are almost all flowering, even though they should be asleep. Even the smallest one, about 3cm x 3cm, has some tiny buds.)
Now I look more closely at Mama, she is at least part symmetrica. Girlie seems to have developed some symmetrica-like stripes too.
The only pure plain old obesa I have are Old Girl and little Y... Gal was bought in 1999, and Y came from John Young.
Has anyone seen a pure obesa in a garden centre recently? They might die out if breeders are crossing them indiscriminately and labelling everything E. obesa... which is techincally correct, but...
Hi from me and my E. Obesas. :)

Happy carrier of Forby Disorder - an obsession with Euphorbia obesa.

I simply love those plants, if I wasnt busy doing cacti, Euphorbia would be the thing
This is the first time I've seen pics of Obesa flowering/fruiting, thanks for posting.. great plants !
Victoria, is that multiheaded space-station grafted ?

Nope, it's on it's own roots, and was when I bought it, but it may have been grafted originally ? I dont know.

Tending more towards cacti , particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!
