To tell the truth, I'm not sure what to expect. IT has looked the same for the last two years and in the last week it has changed. I was hoping some one here would know. Richard
New growth, therefore the newer green. Plant name, maybe Euphorbia obesum. Plants are monoecious. Had one of these for a decade, it is among the plants I gave to start a desert collection at a public institution.
Got the name wrong and also confused mono- and di-ecious. Tired and confused. Should know better than post without checking spelling etc. No more posting for me. BTW, bikerdoc, I see you also misspelled the name the 2nd time. So easy to do when you type tired or excited..

It is Euphorbia obesa, not 'obesum' and it is NOT monoecious but dioecious; there are separate male and female plants. Now and then a plant can exhibit hermaphrodite flowers or change sexual orientation completely and a female plant will produce male flowers, but this is not common in my limited experience. I do have one E. obese that frequently reverts back to hermaphrodite flowers.
BTW, Richard, nice growing and plant.
