I thought it very pretty. I've never seen one before, so am glad you put it on. I might try to get one! :) Karen Thanks for the ID Stera!

Wouldn't advise it Karen, unless you want a lot...remember the white caustic sap if you do get one but I have never seen them at garden centres as they are classed as weeds by most people.

What a pity...I like Euphorbia. We have a weedy one here, but its very small and delicate. The sap doesn't bother me at all, but thanks for the warning :)

Its a spurge, aka Euphorbia lsthyris. If you want to remove it be careful if you break a stem - they exude a milky white sap which is quite caustic so don't get any on your finger and then wipe your eye...
