Euphorbia ID?

15 years ago

I know it may be hard to see, but I need a positive ID on the Euphorbia in the front of the picture that is flowering, and if possible, an ID on the one directly behind it (the short one that is very hard to see) and the taller one behind that one. My batteries in my camera died so I can't get any better photos until I get new batteries.

In the foreground with yellow cyathia is Euphorbia mammillaris. In the backround is E. polygona.

Not considering myself expert but, given the dark color of the spines on your "fake" enopla, it could be a true heptagona :) There are several varieties in this group that are difficult to distinguish. It will be easier to ID as your plant grows older, flowers etc

Euphorbia Id?

First of all, the south facing window is small and the shelves will be somewhat wide, so I can put them more towards the inside of the room with other plants behind them. Summer sun is too high up. There's always a way. But maybe it's too big for the shelves; I can always dream. I'm glad you can see the beach. I'm not sure if Doc could because like Paul said, if it's your house, it's hard to imagine. Doc, those look like 'Euphorbias on a stick', though not edible. OK, I'll be spending a lot on the Haworthias. :)

Okay after lots of google image searching I think it’s E. Genoudiana. Yes? Any advice on propagation would be very helpful. Thank you!

After looking at the other pictures of your collection, I can see the Euphorb in the middle well enough to suggest E. meloformis as a name. The small green clumper to the right of the polygona is Euphorbia susannae, but you didn't ask about that one. ;)

Yes,the E. susannae I knew, but thanks for the E. meloformis! :) When I get some new batteries for my camera, I have some more Euphorbias that need IDs that I hope you can help with.
