Have a camera again! I was real fortunate at the Fort Worth C&S Society Plant bingo and came away with some goodies, especially in the Euphorbia family. Two weeks later at a H&G Show I found some more great plants.
My favorite is the E. venenifica. It is about 5 inches tall. It is the first one pictured below from the left. The name "venefica" translates to "she who poisons". All I can seem to find about it is that it likes direct sun (?). Next to it is a E. capmanambatoensis. It is found in Madagascar. Next is a E. unispina that I won in bingo. From West Africa, another sun lover.

Would love more info on the E. venenifica.

E. capmanambatoensis. I like the branching on this one and look forward to its growth. I got this and the E. venenifica together for less than $20. Life is good.

E. unispina

Another bingo prize, E. capsaintmariensis. I had a larger one at one time but it got overwatered while I was away on a long trip.

Love the large leaves on E. neohumbertii.

Two other plants I got from bingo are a very small Trichodiadema bulbosum and a Mironga (?). The Mironga is about a foot tall and I understand it grows into a large tree. Any info appreciated.
