Hello! This is my Euphorbia persistans bonsai from my greenhouse here in Morris Park in the Ozarks .I'm all about staging Cactus and Euphorbias.

Cor, that is one handsome plant! Congratulations for sorting out the picture - you are better at it than me. We have another member on the forum @Meadowlark who, I believe was brought up in the Ozarks, but now has a place in Texas.
Thanks!!! This plant has toxic sap like most Euphorbias. If left ICor, that is one handsome plant! Congratulations for sorting out the picture - you are better at it than me. We have another member on the forum @Meadowlark who, I believe was brought up in the Ozarks, but now has a place in Texas.
Your Euphorbia looks a lot less fierce than the ones I have grown in my flower beds. They oozed sap that gives you a skin rash, makes you itch, and spreads all over the place like a rumour
I suppose the good thing about your plants is that they don't have glochids - like Zigs' cactus do - they attack as well
Is that lava rock you have around your plant? It's quite expensive to buy, and we don't have too many volcanos around here.
That video is just too painful to even watch !!Oh no, not another glochid maniac! I said to Zigs one day ''Is it safe to sit just here?'' in the cactus house. He assured me that it was, and that he'd cleaned up already. What do you think I sat on?
If he dares to get hold of one of those evil jumping chollas he will have to move out of here pronto !!
I am more interested in the rocks, as I used to break and polish them many years ago. Some of the volcanic materials were really interesting. There can be a vast difference in the quartz family, and I've used some lovely examples from all over the world.
I wouldn't stress over it:Zigs just came in from the garden, and I asked him if he knew how to pronounce Cholla - he said it's Choya, so I asked with some indignation, why didn't he tell me. His reply was this. If I talk about plants that come from MeHico you tell me to say it properly - I sound the x! It's Mexico in English isn't it?
I'm getting on a bit now, and I find all this a bit confusing.... shame really
Yes, Euphorbia mammilaris variagata "corn cob spurge" there is also a green form.I grew up watching Sesame Street, pretty sure half of that was in Spanish
Annie was asking on the other thread what this one was (had to look it up) Thought it might be better here...

I was told it's an Euphorbia mammillaris "Corn Cob" but Clyde might know if it is or not
