Playing dead and well-camouflaged: more weird sci-fi plants

in succulents •  7 years ago 

When comes to plants I am a complete ignoramus. The name Euphorbia though, to my great surprise, sounded very familiar.

So I did a search, and the mystery was immediately solved. It belongs to the same genus and family as Euphorbia pulcherrima, commonly known as Poinsettia or Christmas Flower!

I remembered the name because I was searching to find how to keep one Poinsettia, that was presented to us during last Christmas, alive.
