    Hi everyone. This one is about 90 cm high and has been hiding in my jungle garden for years. I have no idea if it flowers. The only suggestions so far, on other forums, is that it's some type of euphorbia. TIA

    Wow, no replies on this......

    So let me say this about this plant in order to catch someones attention and interest....It really looks like a Euphorbia decidua BUT this plant has a large bulbus base. Hopefully this will get someone to thinking and trying to identify it.

    I love it. I wish I know what is was....

    Euphorbia grandidens is the one that's pretty similar to yours Barb but the leaves aren't quite right. Maybe it's a hybrid?

    I don't know what it is but it is definitely different and quite interesting to look at.
