Euphorbia Silver Swan.

I like that! :>)

It looks like it would do well in San Diego's dry climate.

Very pretty foliage. Don't think I've seen this one before.

Thanks both, usually Euphorbias do well here, so fingers crossed!!

There's thousands of Euphorbia species. Most are native to the tropics/subtropics. Most of the ones grown here are succulents like: E. tirucallii, trigona, ingens, ammak, grantii, milii, continifolia, and lactea.

Delonix I am going to have to look all of those up, as I have not heard of any of them!!

Many of the species above grow very large. They are succulent trees.

Here's a few of my Euphorbia pics:

I do like the colour of this one Dd...one to look out for! When would you eventually remove the flower stem? I pruned my last autumn ones off this summer, and the plant doesn't look half as healthy now...:((

Janey I looked it up and it said to take off as soon as it had finished flowering, so I did.
I did my beautiful Ascot Rainbow, and it has taken ages to recover, but it now looks as good as ever, phew!!
Delonix I am on to it....

Oh thanks for that Dd, the flowers seem to go on forever don't they, I'm hoping mine will pick up before winter.

Apparently they can get leggy, so I will cut them back after flowering, will have to suck it and see with this one!!
