Hi

A fiend gave me this small plant and didn't know the name of it. Does some one know what the name of this plant is?

Thanks Brad

This is Euphorbia trigona. I have a couple of these and love them. They can grow quite fast and branch readily.

BTW, I hope a friend gave you the plant, and not a fiend, as you stated.
