Euphorbia ID has me stumped!

10 years ago

I have had these guys for about 2 years. They have doubled in size, but have never bloomed. I looked at images on Google and couldn't find any lookalikes, so can someone help me out?

Euphorbia mammillaris, I think...

It has me stumped, too, Nancy. =( It looks like one pair of thorns per shield. Are there 2 pair? I can't make out clearly enough to say yes or no. Thanks for so many pix/views. I saw some E. echinus with 10 ribs, but most seem to be less. Yours seems to have more.

I don't believe it's mammillaris, as those have single thorns.

Thanks, ladies. I know it isn't E.mammillaris, as this one doesn't have the telltale corncob look.
There is one pair of thorns per shield and then sometimes a little green "leaf" right above them. Also, there are 13 ribs on both.
