    Hmmm, the flowers come to a point in the original photo. What you are showing is a flower with an indentation at the tip. I'd have to say no.

    I expanded my search to all of Europe, and have found nothing that looks like that plant. I give up. :(

    I respectfully disagree with my worthy colleagues above. I believe the plant is Euphorbia griffithii. I have some in my own garden.

    That's it Sjoerd!! I was trying to remember its name so I'm glad you knew exactly what it was.

    This is the one in my garden. It looks sort of faded this year, usually the orange is much more lively with fiery red-orange bits. Ach well.
    Thanks mate, for the very nice reference.
    BTW--it is a lovely plant, but in my garden-- it has the tendency to be invasive. I remove lots of it after "blooming" each year.
