That is some impressive growth, considering it is variegated. dvg true ,I didn't even think of that, best hope it doesn't turn to dust in the summer sun |

Oh wow! this one seems to have self seeded itself complete with pot and label 😇  And looks better than mine  |

The E. suzannae has also done quite a bit of growing since its winter arrival. Just compare this to the photo on page 1.  Those dead flowers were on the tips in January. The small cutting of E. flanaganii appears to be adopting a redder complexion with the exposure to more light ( I almost typed sunlight but that would be an exaggeration). Hopefully the adult/s will follow suit. I'm still tempted to remove the five large offsets.  E. succulenta is looking much better. I have wired a couple of the arms to get the shape of the plant a little better and try to stop them crossing. The new leaves are certainly healthier looking.   The two pots of seedlings are still ok. Growth is slow but steady. A little heat, I feel, would not go amiss.   Finally, the unrooted cuttings of E. obesa x globosa are no longer so. Every one I've checked now has roots.   |

Your E. obesa x globosa look like they've been abroad, how'd they get such a good tan ? The markings are standing out a bit more I reckon

The E. obesa x globosa are starting to look greener at the growth points.  Is it just me or is this E. inermis a little on the larger size?   |

I had to re-pot the E. meloformis. That black pot was no longer round. It's in a square BEF pot now  |

The E. mammillaris f. variegata needed potting up too so Euphorbia corner is now full. 😕  |

E. stellata is now generating new leaves from the centre. Hopefully the frost damage will cover fairly quickly.  E. bisellenbeckii is slowly generating this year's leaves. It's very slow at it.  E. obesa x globosa are romping away on their new roots. They are losing the darker markings but it's easy to tell just how much they're growing.  I have also acquired E. ingens. The plant needs a good dose of TLC before I release it to the world. It was a very good offer (ie. very cheap) and I knew it wouldn't be specimen quality on receipt. It's re-potted in my own medium and had a couple of sprays, water only, it's a bit dehydrated. I've also ordered another species which I'm sure will be in a better condition. That was also a very cheap offer so there's more to look forward to in Euphorbia Corner.

I lifted the pot yesterday and found some roots 1" out of the bottom  A re-pot seems imminent. |

The latest of the bargain Euphorbia has arrived. I think it's the tallest of the bunch. Now it needs to settle in and get the flower stems straight (they got a little bent in transit and they will form the "thorny" bits later. In the meantime here's a shot of a flower.  |

The new 'display' pot of E. obesa x globosa containing the largest three of the cuttings.  There are eight 6cm pots in reserve  The first of my Bargain Euphorbia. Euphorbia ingens. Not the prettiest of plants but I'm hoping it'll come into a reasonable shape. That's a 4½" pot  Euphorbia loricata also now in a 4½" pot  |

E. obesa x globosa is looking very happy with offsets on the way

E. ingens is generating leaves on the main stem.
