I have never heard of mr2 but I found a company in Panama that exports them. http://www.sectorpages.com/world-companies/R169S4/Panama.html I think they have misnamed their md2's as mr2's. I really doubt there is a variety named mr2.

I have - or had - a whole bunch of them. They even self-seed in my garden. I'm sure something will survive but: some animal attacked one of my plants that I grew out from E. 'Sparkling Burgundy' seed that was more freckled. Dug the bulb up apparently to try to eat, then gave up when it proved not very tasty. So I might have lost that. 'Sparkling Burgundy' itself was incredibly late to return after the cold winter in 2013-2014, and if it didn't rebuild enough strength might be kapoot. No matter, they are practically ubiquitous these days. Another seedling I grew out from SB had an interesting grayish-red color, like SB softly sprayed with metallic silver spray paint. I gave a few bulbs of it away in the DC area in the mid 2000s, but lost the clone myself at some point. The little plant you refer to Nancy is probably one of the new odd looking little hybrids derived from E. vandermerwei etc. As with the dwarf forms of various other forbs and geophytes they don't seem as vigorous as the big species, and though I bought a cute one at the Swarthmore plant sale on a whim I will probably not mess with them further. It kind of sulked last summer. Did not seem vigorous at all at disappeared by August. I'd hoped that as a selected variety it would do better than pure E. vandermerwei which is very finicky in a continental climate. Oh well, at least I was fleeced for a good cause LOL.

Hi, great to hear from you 2 guys. My plant is now about 6-7 inches above the soil line and looking good so far. I have "sparkling burgundy" Eucomis. Yes, it's Eucomis not Euphorbia gardengal. Sorry, to many plant searches.... I have mine in a large pot, and I've been hoping I can overwinter it in that pot which is a large pot, but, I'm not sure how many gallons the pot is. It's a large double walled plastic pot from Rural King. I'm thinking maybe 15 gallon pot? I will try to get the real number and/or size of the pot. I must say I'm glad to hear from you 2 that they are zone 7 and possibly 6 with protection. I hope you 2 can post a pic soon. I'll do so also. Later.

Does pee have ethylene gas? Lol! I peed on a pineapple plant in my yard that looked chlorotic last year. It quickly turned a deep green and began blooming. I was amazed. So I did it to another few plants and they all began to bloom! Every one of them! Lol This year I've only peed on one plant and it now has a flower stalk emerging. It's the only one thus far. Coincidence?
