| Went to my local farmers market yesterday and found this guy for $5! He's about a foot tall. I couldn't stop smiling the whole way home :)
Is he a Euphorbia mammillaris variegata? TIA,

| Nancy, I would say you got a really good deal. My local markets never throw a surprise like that in. Congrats! Sharon |

| Im sorry you'll have to take it back. it was an accident, the real price was $50. Just return it and no question will be asked. Lol... wow! do they have any more?? :) |
|
| That's a great find! He is probably Euphorbia fimbriata variegata, usually ID'd as E. mammillaris variegata. Search on "euphorbia fimbriata" here if you want all the gory details :) -R |

| Nancy, You done good there, lady. I almost had the name for you (but I wouldn't have had the specifics) but Robert took care of that for you. In case you're interested, that plant would have sold in the roughly $7-9 range at the SDCSS Show and Sale last month. |

| Thanks, everyone....it is so rare to find something "new and exotic" (for the Milwaukee area, anyways). It was love at first sight and instant gratification....no waiting for a postal delivery! :) Hijole, they did in fact, have at least 3 more, one being planted in @ a 6 in. pot vs. my 3 inch one. Robert, thanks for the clarification. I hope to see the pink coloration soon! Jeff, Whew! I did do good then; saved myself a few bucks! A good thing, since I will be spending much more at the Chicago Botanic Gardens this Saturday. There will be a cactus and succulent sale going on. I scored a nice female E. obesa last year and hope to get her a boyfriend this time! |

| Marten, You're right about it being ugly...it's so ugly that it's cute! (That can apply to plants as well as puppies, right?) I'm always drawn to the weirder looking things in life! :) Nancy |

| Nancy, If you run into Karen 715 there, give her a hug for me, if you would. |
