Euphorbia gottlebei . Quite tricky to get a decent photo of these flowers, I'm happy with this one.

Stunning. Do you have a side view as well?

I assume it is related to the old favourite Euphorbia milii?

It's a nice plant, but tends to sprawl rather than growing upright.

A side view, not very good pic, it doesn't photograph well.
I'm a bit of a euphorbia nut , so I like it.
Ralph, your plant is a giant so will sprawl a bit, I'll have to put up my next greenhouse, before mine gets that big, though I think I've got a bit of time :wink:

One of my favourites! This is mine taken last year, it doesn’t sprawl, more like a shrublet.

Perhaps some clones are better behaved than others. :roll:
