I like your euphorbia. That is so odd looking. How is it propagated?
The mice have been nibbling at my baby toes. I'll need to get some more after I deal with the pesty things.

well its a plant that grows a large caudex (thick starch and water storing stem above ground) and braches alot from it... this is a branch cutting which will in time produce a caudex... it grows thick, succlent,and long lasting leaves unlike the other Euphorbia which fall off during drought... they are havily undulating and blush purplish red... the cyathia (specific flowers that the spurge family possess) are a pinkish tan color and always form two to a inforescence...

a mature plant maybe 8-10 inches tall (inc. caudex with branches) its rather small and very slow growing...

Thank you again. Now I'll be on the look-out for a new plant.

ok heres some more plants...
Scilla ssp.
debated to be a succulent plant although similar to other "bulb" plants (daffodils, hyacinths, tulips etc...) Scilla bulbs are green and succulent-like and survive drought by thick wiry roots that do not die and succulent leaf sheaths (that make the bulb) that store water. Bulbs are sometimes protected by thin semitranslucent dead leaf sheath(s) that readily dissinagrate. plants have very thick leaves that are waxy and spotted with sun deflecting patches

And here are some succulent Bromeliads...
Dyckia "cherry coke" very good plant... but painful![[Frown]](im/frown.gif)
i grow just like a cactus in full sun and careful watering...
blushes a wonderful redish brown in full sun...
and an Orthophytum "Warren Lossa" during the summer this plant blushes brillant red when wet and scales lay flat... this is currently surviving the freeze indoors... very hardy plant that loves direct sun and heat...
