If you enjoy gardening, there are numerous societies and local clubs i.e. foraging for edible plants & mushroom, plants swap meet, seeds exchange, etc to explore… I can’t remember who was saying some thing like this: “People with dirty nails are often friendly, generous and fun” I found that is true in this hobby :). Best wishes to you Corry! Laura

And I honestly had never noticed those huge thorns until yesterday when I finally googled Euphorbia!

Gosh,there is an International Euphorbia Society? Wow! Truth to tell, I only know of Euphorbia from “Rosemary and Thyme”, a favorite program of mine!

Appreciate the closeup picture. It’s in the crown of thorns group. There are varieties in the species & hundreds of hybrids. I’m not expert of E. milli and can’t tell which one is yours. If you want to know the exact ID, perhaps you could try the experts from the International Euphorbia Society. The fee for membership is $40.00. Best wishes Martin!
