E is for Euphorbia


Ever since I began my current employment I have been admiring the Eurphorbia. They are just cool. Very striking, their bracts (plant parts that kind of look like flowers but are not, think Dogwoods and Hydrangea) and kind of look like something from Dr. Seuss. They are also listed to be deer and gopher resistant, drought tolerant and like full sun and heat. The downer, they also have a sap that may irritate the skin. I say just don't get it on you and enjoy its beautiful form.
