A rather tatty Ephorbia cristate I picked up after an auction, because nobody wanted it, has decided to flower and if I isolate the grotty bits it looks quite nice

Better seen side to side!

Re: Just for interest
I think the snail might die if it ate my Euphorbia. If it didn't it would be cursed and shrink to nothing........time and time again :-)))[attachment 1966 snail.gif]
