Medusoid Euphorbia are a huge favourite! Do you grow any others?

Yes, I have gorgonis, caput-medusae and 2 that are either inermis or esculenta but don't want to flower.....

That's frustrating, they should flower around now, I wonder what would be the best way to stimulate them

kuhle (59) · last year

I have no idea: all my other euphorbia flower happily, except the caput-medusae which is still very young

I see some seed pods there, have you tried sowing the seeds?

kuhle (59) · last year

I don't need to, they explode and I have little baby flanaganiis popping up in many of the pots

Those are great! The bottom one has really different flowers

kuhle (59) · last year

Yes, I couldn't resist it when I saw it for sale. It was labelled as E flanaganii. I wonder if it is perhaps a hybrid.

The thickness of the "arms" is purely dependent on the amount of sunlight the plant is getting but flanaganii is variable. Woodii was lumped into flanaganii although to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference

I'm also intrigued by the fact that some have flowers on long stalks and some short. Some flower in the centre and others at the end of the "arms"
