Good evening Mrs. Green,
this is a hybrid. The mother is a Euphorbia obesa, the father I do not know.

Best regards

Sorry to see the mouse damage. Frau Klein needs to get to work!! Were any plants damaged?

I liked seeing the Euphorbia decaryi. What other similar Euphorbia's from Madagascar do you grow?

Good morning K.W 🙂 Thank you for your reply. Ah..good thing I waited for your reply instead of going trough all kinds of Euphorbias online, hoping to find the species on my own then.. A pity its a unknown father, as I think it’s a very attractive plant 🙂

Good evening Jerry,
yes - some plants have "lost" the roots. . . :roll:
I know you like the Euphorbia from Madagascar.
I don't have much from that area, the plants like it warm in winter - difficult in my greenhouse.

Kind regards

Good evening Mrs. Green,

I received the plants as a gift.
I'll try to reach the friend - maybe he knows more. . .
