The recently acquired Euphorbia trigona f. rubra, also known as Euphorbia 'Royal Red' plus several other common and latin names.  I'm thinking it may have to come inside for the winter as it's apt to be a bit tender. It should colour up better next spring/summer when I can attempt to give it all the sun it appreciates. Yes, a divergence from the Mesembs but it is South African  |

I think it's currently around 10" corky but I'll get my trusty ruler out tomorrow and check.

An addition to this genus, Euphorbia stellata. It's a caudiciform plant and those leaves should be more horizontal. Hopefully it will grow to the correct look next year. (A turnip with a bit of seaweed on top)  |

Number three in the Euphorbia. Euphorbia horrida v majorI'm very limited to space and MrsG will not let me glaze the whole garden so this will be the last of the Euphorbia for now.( Unless an absolute must buy bargain crops up  )   He's currently all of 8" tall. I say he because he's not carrying seed capsules which I would expect of a female plant of that size. |

The latest arrival, fresh cuttings of Euphorbia obesa x globosa  They were cheaper than seed, which is extremely difficult to get hold of anyway. They should also be quite easy to root  There are others that have arrived over the winter and I'll catch up on those later in the season. (In other words we'll make sure they survive first) |

A winter arrival, Euphorbia susannae.  That's a 6cm pot and ( wait for it) MrsG likes it.  |

 my little euphorbia, I believe a hybrid with Suzanne , think it's Euphorbia Suzannae x bupleurifolia, not looking its best but I thought I'd lost it for almost two years and then found it behind a sideboard, it was almost leafless but very much alive |

That's Euphorbia bupleurifolia x susannae aka Euphorbia x japonica aka Euphorbia 'Cocklebur', corky. I may try to sneak one in later in the season. MrsG is ever vigilant though. Seed is much easier to get in |
