Euphorbia mellifera.

I have two of these in the front garden and they're flowering beautifully, despite looking very ill after the winter.
These flowers have a honey looking (and smelling) nectar that drips from them.

Oooer Grindle :-/
If you prune it back, it might rally round.

Was going to buy this on ebay as I am very fond of Euphorbias.....

when I looked at it there was one tiny green shoot, so there may be a bit of hope, will prune out the dead bits today.

Dotty, these are gorgeous plants, the flowers are amazing, definately get one !!!
Grindle, i'd say yours was okay - it'll just need some warm sun on it .... bit like me ;-)
