Re: Euphorbia obessa
Obesa does become columnar with age, but if anything wider than the base, not narrowed. The narrowed one does look as if it's etiolated.
This one is 22cm/8?" tall, in a 5" pot. It's 10cm/4" wide higher up, 7.5cm/3?" wide at the base. I don't know how old it is

Re: Euphorbia obessa
He's actually a bit tatty. I think the younger smaller globular ones tend to be much more attractive, especially the more tartan patterned ones.

Re: Euphorbia obessa
Ah, I thought he was a he. 
Aww. Mike, if you ever get bored with him, sell him to me!
Or, if my seeds are successful, you can have a new fresh bouncing baby one to keep him company in a couple of years.

Re: Euphorbia obessa
OK, keeping the forby talk in one place, here's a developing pod. Unlike all the others I've seen, this one has a white collar. Lack of light? Hmm.

Re: Euphorbia obessa
OK, this pod fell off without getting any bigger, and so I did a Roy on it. It had one little clear wet soft seed which dried to a paper in the time it took me to eat lunch.
Pics are stuck in the camera, the pooter won't talk to it. *sigh*
