The flower of Euphorbia enopla. Just as well it's not grown for the flowers isn't it.

I was having fun trying to get the shot so I may as well share the result.

That's a good photo, you really don't grow Euphorbia for their flowers but I love all the different body & leaf shapes, they are just thinking of waking up & flowering now.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

I'd call them interesting rather than impressive on this species. I find it very curious that the spines sometimes decide to be flowers.

I was referring to Euphorbia as a whole Ian, after all there are a few to chose from :wink:
