Great shots Robert, I got the camera out after seeing these to see if I had boys and girls

Can't help with the Kleinia/Senecio but I am sure it will branch one day.

Just wondering did you use a flash when taking these photos?

G'day and a Big Welcome the CG. I live in North West Victoria just out of Mildura. I'm from Australia and have been growing cactus for only a short while, maybe 2 years. Its now bordering on a obsession. It's an addiction and one that is impossible to break once bitten :wink: :lol: :lol: Enjoy yours...

Hey Ed get down close to the berries and you will se that they are actually flowers. Now to throw a spanner into the works. E. horrida has a yellow/green cyathia and e. polygona has the purple/red one :roll: So if you go by that Ed yours is e.polygona :? Check it out here http://www.euphorbia.de/ind...

Hi Robert Its a problem when you have different varieties in the same pot. If they were mine I would put them into different pots and problem solved :wink: I am curious as to why they are renewing leaves for you now? This is something that is usually done during winter. Maybe Ian can shed some more ...

After many hours of research with euphorbia.de, aridlands.com, The Euphorbia Journal, Cactus & Co., The Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants, etc., I've come to a solid conclusion in the E. horrida vs. E. polygona debate. My conclusion is that I'm even more confused than when I started :) I...

Nice one Moonbeam

E. 'Green Zipper' is the correct name for this hybrid that a grower here in Australia named.

Betty

Can't get a good pic as its raining and very dull. So much for out warm Saturday it has not reached 12C yet and its nearly lunch

I need to get Snowflake to got with the daughter. what is the difference between Snowflake and Snowflake's daughter :?: I copied this from the listing I got it from :wink: Euphorbia cv. 'Snowflake's Daughter' is a selected cultivar of Euphorbia 'Snowflake'. It is selected for it's fantastic pale wh...

hey Betty, yep same seller. no flowers? mine hasn't stopped flowering since i got it in June..and it came with buds! how big is yours? can i see a pic of it please? yeah, i read that it is a hybrid of two E.polygona parents. i like the markings on it. p.s. awesome you have buds on M.pectinifera.. i...

Nice ones Lewis and flowers on the Zipper. I need to get Snowflake to got with the daughter. I have E. Green Zipper as well from ebay. I bet we got them from the same person d/search. Did you know it is his own hybrid from two E. polygona parents. Mine does not have flowers yet :cry: I get so many g...

p.s. slightly off topic but im somewhat confused. i have both E.ingens and E.ammak and realise that they are extremely similar physically (if not identical) except ammak is variegated and ingens is green. are they the same species, just one is variegated and is given a different name? Lewis they ar...

Very nice! There are cultivars of both E. horrida and E. polygona known as 'Snowflake,' and they look very similar. But from what I've read on the web, 'Snowflake's Daughter' is from E. polygona .....(and it looks more like E. polygona to me) Either way it's a beauty! -R Thxs Robert I am really loo...
