Those are great plants. Out of curiousity, how old is the Euphorbia obesa?

Lachy, the Euphorbia obesa is four-years-old. It grows and blooms outdoors year-round, and appreciates regular weekly waterings with a half-strength water-soluble fertilizer.

Yea, I see lots of pink in the second astro, and just white in the first. I like the pink flower better, I think, but the double bloom on the white one is pretty spectacular.
