Ohhhhhhhh! I swear I had this vibe in a blue pot; a smaller stix with an a. parri. And I lost both in the freeze. (*sob*) There was also a ‘Ming Thing’ cereus and some orangy grapto-sedum X. The cactus made it… and a single graptosedum leaf fell to a sheltered place and took root. I almost cried with joy.

Fortunately I always “force” plants on my mother that I like myself, so she has new starts for me.

Sizzling combo. Congrats for taking the bull by the horns (or the styx by the stems?) and not being afraid to whack it back. Based on the picture, it looks like your tough love paid off!

Loree you ARE using “cadre” correctly – and I would do the same thing if I were you (bring the stix inside AND use the word “cadre” at the drop of a hat). I’m going to be in Portland SOON! XOXO!

Michelle! How fab meeting your wonderfulness (bowing, giving design props). I love how this plant is equally sexy AND geeky! Too True!

Melody – I do the same thing! I have a “Mother Plant” that I’ve been harvesting Stix from for years. All of my mine come from that Mommy plant! What a generous succulent, right?

Pam dear, wait… hang on… the beautiful color WILL return! It will be fabulous again, mark my words!

ESP – if only I had little fishes swimming around the “branches” of the euphorbia … but if I had a photo like that, it would mean I was in The Patch!!! Ah, nostalgia for your garden…

Sunny – it likes YOU!

This whole scene looks like a coral-reef G… Great image.
Cut those euphorbia!
I did, got juiced from a Euphorbia biglandulosa and have never quite been the same since as you know.

I have one in a pot, and it had definitely turned the insipid pink you mentioned. About a month ago I whacked it back, butchered it really, and I’m now waiting for the fabulousness to reappear. I have hope!

I love this euphorbia! I frequently take generous cuttings off of the top of a biggish specimen I currently have. Once re-potted, the cuttings make for a great gift. You gotta give a little love to get a little love!

This plant is just to sexy for its own good.
Love the way it blushes bright red when the moment hits.
I have this planted in my Northern California garden but it isn’t getting enough sun to do it justice, but still I love its pencil neck geekish good looks.

I wanted one so badly it’s been added to my cadre that moves inside for the cold wet winter (and I’m probably not using ‘cadre’ correctly but it’s my turn to mix up the language!).

It’s not all that happy after 6 months in the basement and it can’t wait to get outside, but then again neither can I!
