Euphorbia's with discolored leaves

Their is some thing about Euphorbia's that I like. For me I think it's all the different forms they come in.

Unfortunately many can not be grown in Florida. Some need special care like keeping them dryer with less humidity or warm all winter long. I do not have a place to keep them out of the rain or warmer.

But of the Euphorbia's you can grow here I seem to be drawn to Euphorbia's that are

endemic to Madagascar that are thorn less and Euphorbia milii with it's many forms, variety and hybrids. Euphorbia millotii is endemic to Madagascar, thorn less with discolored leaves. This plant was not getting the best care so the coloring is not as good as it should be. I had a week or so. ê

Euphorbia millotii

I had one a few years back and loss it to a cold winter.

Euphorbia millotii

This untagged Euphorbia does have thorns and also discolored leaves. Who don't like discolored leaves? I also got it a week ago. ê

unknown Euphorbia

Some times things start growing from who knows where.

This unknown Euphorbia just came up in this pot of Orthophytum

(lost the tag on this Orthophytum ).

Euphorbia lophogona

This Euphorbia is getting to be a little bit of a weed, It seems to like my yard.

It's growing on a small burm.

All most 30 inchs tall.

By the driveway

In a hanging basket

It all started from this guy in a pot. Not as large as the one growing in the soil.

If I look around a little more, there might be more of them.

Some do look better(better color on the leafs) then others or they could be hybrids. I do have other Euphorbia nearby.
