Busily blooming and branching Euph. lophogona

Post by Tofterigen »

Hi everybody

I'd like to present you my Little Euphorbia lophogona.
It's about two years old and i got it as a seedling from the botanical garden of Bonn (I asked before taking it). It grew inside a pot with an impressive Euph. balsamifera, but due to the artilleristic scills of Euphorbia it turned out to be a different species: E. lophogona!
At first I was disappointed, because it is much more common than E. balsamifera, but meanwhile this plant has developed really good.

This is an Overall look:

Here you can see four of the meanwhile seven branches. Much more are about to come!

You can see that the plant is doing it's best to let me forget my original disappointment! Especially the branching is very agreable, because this Euphorbia will not end up as a Paintbrush, like some Dracaena marginata.

I wish all my plants would thrive like that!

Best wishes,

Tofterigen

Beautiful plant Tofterigen , and the cyathia are much more attractive than on any Euphorbia I have! :)

Thank You!

This is a species from Madagascar, like E.leuconeura or E. viguieri which I own as well. Especially E. viguierii makes beautiful cyathial leaves, glaring red!

Best whishes,

Tofterigen
