These are all cuttings from a plant I bought many years ago at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. That was way back when these larger, hybrid euphorbias were newly introduced in Southern California. Curious thing, however, the original plant has bright red flowers but not one of the many cuttings is red. Asexual propagation is supposed to produce genetic clones.

Dear Lady

Is that also known as the Crown of Thorns?

Dear Lady, yes. They have been hybridized to be larger than Euphorbia milii, or crown of thorns in every way.
