Mind your skin, Euphorbia

Euphorbia, contains an irritant in the sap, which when exposed to sunlight can cause blistering on the skin. I have both wulfenii and robbiae, but don't know which this is. It is self seeded in this spot. Love the acid green colour.

But in general, I am wary of Euphorbia, having suffered.

I know you do Dd, having seen them for real in your garden. Like the darker one, Black Pearl?, although rather large. I know you will say wulfenii is very tall, but I have it pinned back against the garage wall out of touching distance.
