| Marcia Richardson, Texas Master Gardener | Aug 07, 2008 | I garden in Converse, Texas and one year his unusual plant just volunteered and came up in my yard. Some years it doesn't show up at all, but this year its in about 5 different places. I have extremely heavy alkaline soil and gosh awful heat, but it doesn't seem to mind and is flourishing. I would like to have this plant en masse somewhere in my landscape. I have searched for a long time to find out what the plant was, thanks for the information. |
| Marcia Richardson | Aug 18, 2008 | Rob, check out Texas Gardener Magazine (Sept.-Oct.issue), it has a big write up on euphorbias. (I just got my issue today). E. heterophylla is a taller plant but with much smaller infloresence and is found on the Texas Coast. E. cyathophora is a Hill County plant, featured at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.(This is the one that volunteered and came up in my back yard.) Your web page is great. M.R. |
