Euphorbia meloformis variegata

The first "rare" plant that I got last year, just due to its gorgeous variegation. I haven't noticed much growth during the period of owning it but recently it has been putting out these things in the centre. Leaves, flowers or spines?

Judging by the amount sold on ebay it's not really that rare is it.

I'm just envious because I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices :wink:

Those are the flower stems forming. Once the flowers have gone over the remaining peduncles will dry to form the 'Spines'.

I think you need to cut that offset off as it destroys the symmetry of the plant. If you do, you know where to send it... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Maybe! But if I did I should keep it myself and make more offsets...
