A tale of 2...

Post by Smel »

Well it starts as a tale of 4 x Euphorbia obesa, that back in April 2021 I purchased from Paul Doyle for a silly price, they were only seedlings the biggest being just under 10mm. I just popped all 4 into a small pot and they stayed there for the first year and I was wondering if they were going to make it or not! I gave one away to a famly member, and one was part of a plant swap. The darker plant on the left spent last Winter in a very cold greenhouse (going by how many plants I lost) the other came indoors with my other "Delicate" plants and was warm and had water now and again (now 40mm wide). They now both seem to be comimg in to flower, but unless I've got male and female flowers I'm not going to see and seeds, the flowers look the same to me, even if ones not quite fully open. But just enjoy the flowers, Thanks Paul..

You have a boy and a girl there, don't you? A boy with the yellow pollen and a girl with 3 stigmas.

I agree - looks like male and female flower parts to me.
