A few Euphorbia flowers

[ralphrmartin]

Here are a few Euphorbias in flower in my greenhouse at the moment:

Euphorbia capuronii

Euphorbia genoudiana

Euphorbia millii pale yellow flower

Euphorbia millii v. vulcanii

Euphorbia neokaessneri (was Monadenium kaessneri)

Very nice Ralph I love the Euphorbia neokaessneri (was Monadenium kaessneri) Monadenium flowers are soo different & the plants normally seem to be late season growers and yes I know they are supposed to be Euphorbia now but....

I can add a few so Euphorbia unispina, a mass of flowers this year so the repot must have made it happy.

Euphorbia bevilopsis has super patterned large flowers

Lovely flowers you two!

Wow to the Euphorbia flowers! The bevilopsis is spectacular!

This is one of my favourite Euphorbias...platyclada.

Flowers are a bit small, though... !

That's sweet, yes you don't grow euphorbia for their flowers but if you can magnify them they are quite nice and come in many shapes and colours, the most interesting ones are from the ex monadeniums, they often look like shrimps etc.
Monadenium splendens ( I think not elegans)- an old plant over 24" tall

Euphorbia gymnocalciodes flowering on a euph canariensis graft, these are fine but slow on their own roots, grafted they are useful for seed production but its quicker to damage the growing point on a grafted plant which encourages offsets which root down eventually

This is a really lovely euphporbia maromokotrensis which is a form of Euph ankarensis with lovely hairy leaves its more prostate than columnar.

Excellent Tine, and quite a contrast to the flowers in my pictures. I must look out for E. bevilopsis. How old is the E. unispina? Mine is growing well but has yet to flower (but then again its only 7 or 8 cm tall)..

E. platyclada is a really free flowering plant in my experience - but you aren't exaggerating when you say the flowers are small!

Maybe we should try to keep this thread going, like the one for stapeliad flowers. Please do chip in with pictures, if you have any Euphorbias in flower.

Hi Ralph,
This E. unispina I have had 2 or 3 years, its a degraft ( I think) as its plumper than my other plants from Specks, ex habitat ones from the Jos plateau.
Its 55cm+ in height but just doesn't look the same compared to my others, what do you think ?, it ate too many pies or a bit of a mongrel.

I can add other Euphorbia flowers but some might be historic if that's OK.
Would be a useful reference

Here is euphorbia francoisii v crassicaulis rubra form.
Very slow growing its taken me nearly 10 years to get it to this size & then I forget to show it.
These will always be uncommon/rare as its not that easy to get seed & you only get one seed per capsule I have caught a few using zip top baggy but its a lot of effort for 1 seed.

I like this last one, but can't find it under this name. Does it have a synonym?

Tina,
that E. unispina is awesome. Mine is about 6-7 cm high and slow growing indeed. I wouldn't have said yours was fat, unless mine is too
