Hi Ming,
Just a guess from a non-specialist: E. submammillaris?
Regards, Octopus

Hi, Ming.

I am not sure what it is but it seems to like Tucson! How are YOU liking Tucson? How is Big Lizard doing? Do you have pics of him with the Euphorbia in question? : )

Ming,

this plant is either Euphorbia submammillaris fa. pfersdorfii or the hybrid of E. submammillaris called Green Elf.

ah, frank! you always come through.
i thought it looked a lot like E. submammillaris, as the octopus suggested, but the pictures i found weren't quite right. i'll tag this one promptly so i don't forget. pictures i found look so nice--maybe i'll remove the more compact clump and try to grow an ideal plant!

kate: tucson is growing on me--at least i'm getting settled. there are some great C&S places here and i'm enjoying exploring them! big lizard gets to go outside every morning and roam about at will. i'm sure i have a picture of him with said plant somewhere! for now, here is a painting my sister did of biggie and C. europeae:

Oh My Gosh Ming,

I thought that was the photo again (that I remember from a few months ago). Took closer inspection (of the wood grain & deck rails) to see it WAS a painting & not the photo (also the signature is there too).

Pls. tell your sister she did a GREAT job (from a fellow artist), just amazing!!!

Hi, Ming.

I remember that photo...such a handsome lizard! Your sister is very talented with a brush, too! Kudos to her(from another fellow artist)! Glad to hear that you're liking Tucson...honestly that's where I'd love to live, but DH doesn't like it, so I must wait... : )
