I posted this E. pseudocactus cutting on July 29th and was so happy it had survived and was growing. Here it is today, that's some growing it's doing.  |

I was a little late bringing some plants into the house. I think I have one E. cooperi left. Not that there's a shortage of plants still for the amount of room allocated.
Seed ordered on something different.

Euphorbia corner has been re-established in the greenhouse. Moving the plants around I noticed one E. obesa that I'd left out all winter. It has great colouring now so I hope it survives and keeps it.

E. loricata in full flower.  Not the sharpest of photos but they'll have to do with the lighting I'm getting.   |

I suppose there are worse things for a man to succumb to, but you'd be forgiven Fred for adding this irrestible little chappie to your Euphorbia horde.
It really is quite a looker, with a lot going on there.

A plant I don't really like the look of. I bought this because E. triangularis doesn't come up for sale too often. This is the cristate form and I'm hoping at some point parts will revert to normality and I'll be able to take a cutting or two. It's redeeming feature was the price tag  it was cheap.   |

A little update. The main pot of E. obesa x glososa. They're coloured again Corky   A tray of offsets of E. obesa x globosa and E. flanaganii ( smelly one)  The yellow flowered E. flanaganii his losing some of the old arms but the centre is producing healthy growth. Nothing to cause concern there.  Purchased in the autumn. We'll see how this new variety goes.  |

MrsG found a post from a new local ( to home) nursery we'd never visited was doing 50% off all plants. We came home yesterday so off we went. There are some good bargains to be had but for every bargain there's a need to have a space for it. I settled on a plant the nursery man said was Euphorbia trigona but I think because of the leaves and the growth configuration it is Euphorbia triangularis* ( fingers crossed). It looks nothing like the other Euphorbia there. Anyway it was £25 reduced to £12.50 so that came home with us. There were several big genuine Euphorbia trigona but the ones on the lower floor ( indoor plants) were all rotting from overwatering. Upstairs was different and I could have gladly taken a green and a red but then I don't have the space for another 2 x 24" plants I settled for a small green specimen with 6 arms and I've now planted it up and it has 4 arms + 2 cuttings ( they were loose anyway). The compost was wet and rot was starting on the main stem. For £2.50 it was worth it just for the cuttings. The Euphorbia triangularis* I've also repotted to a more suitable medium and removed one of the arms as it looked unbalanced so I've got a good 16" cutting from that. The plant is 22" tall and 12" round so a good size. Photos when I get round to it  |
