ID or Verification Needed for this Probable Euphorbia

I'm wondering if this is a Euphorbia susannae, but it seems just a tad different. Is anyone familiar with this little guy?

E. mammilaris? Not suzannae for sure

You are correct, garrett222. Thank you. I was in denial because it doesn't have a single thorn at this time, so I was hoping it wouldn't grow them eventually. I bought it at a nursery in the thorn-free succulent area. I'm not super enthusiastic about its future thorniness. http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/EUPHORBIA/Euphorbia_mammillaris/Euphorbia_mammillaris/Euphorbia_mammillaris.htm

A photo of the leaves and thorns is just as useful as a picture of the cyathium for identifying these Euphorbias. Are there any other characteristics that make you think it isn't E. milii? E. milii can have cyathium of pretty much any color...

Thank you for the help, ladies and gents! Mike, I'm really enjoying this pokey little plant. I'm glad I've done right by the stowaway! Karen, thanks for sharing that information. Indeed, I fertilized and watered this succulent much more than my other succulents this Summer....probably every two to three weeks! Jeffrey, the first photo shows the same Aloes when I first received them. The second photo was a recent update of the pair. Would you believe it? I have three Aloe varieties ('California,' nobilis, and now these). I should make you a proper list of all the plants I grow ;-) So we're leaning towards A. maculata? Deep Roots, thank you for the pic reference. That'll make things easier! I can't wait to share the flower pics...when they come ;-) Josh

I think E. corollata is probably it, there is a lot of this plant growing in this area and I have photographed it often but in apparent later stages of growth; I think the unusual appearance of the flower and the overall shape of the plant is what threw me off but looking at some of my other E. corollata photos at the base of the plant, the leaf shape and habit seem to match this. I may try to confirm this later this spring and see if I can find some more plants in the same stage of growth. Thanks all.

By the size the pic shows that it may also be a dwarf variation of E. mammillaris

IMO: Not that you should or need to re-pot but it is a bit over potted over all it does look healthy.

I bought this plant this week & planted it a few days ago. The pot is 2.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. The plant is as nearly as tall as the pot and it's root system needed the entire pot. I tried a tinier pot first but there was no room for soil after the roots filled in the container. I was surprised to see so much root system.
