I get "odd" combinations of different forms of growth also Julie, but as yet I've not seen different flowers on the same plant.

Sometimes those little prickly growths at the end of a leaf are flowers and sometimes they are just new growth. It is hard to tell when they are very tiny which they are destined to become.

Here are four examples of odd forms of growth. I don't know whether it means they are reverting or it has something to do with growing conditions. I do know that growing conditions like more or less water, heat, light can affect the form that Euphorbias will exhibit.

This first one has some flat leaves with spines, a triangular shaped leaf that then turned flat, and some almost round very prickly forms.
