I purchased a packet of seeds that were, ostensibly, Euphorbia enopla. NONE of them germinated. So I wrote the seller and she sent me a new package of seeds. They day after they arrived and I had sowed the new packet of seeds in the same container, I had two of the original packet of seeds germinate. I allowed the two seeds of the original packet to remain with the new seeds.
22 of the 25 seeds in the new package germinated. But slowly, over several months, each and every one of the 22 seedlings dried up and died.
So I am left with the two seedlings from the original packet that are quite visibly different than the seedlings of the second packet … and I have NO idea what their species is. They are definitely NOT Euphorbia enopla.
Can anyone positively identify this plant? They're kind of youing ... 3 or 4 months (I don't feel like getting up to look at records to give an exact age) and only about 2.25 and 3.00 inches tall. Three pictures follow.

Re: Probable Euphorbia
It might be Euphorbia grandicornis. I have some E. grandicornis seedlings and yours look just like mine.
Very nice seedlings, by the way!
