July 27th, 2014: Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii) by Dinu
I miss this plant for its colour of the blooms. I discontinued growing this as I did not want to have thorny plants. I enjoy these in other gardens as I pass by the streets - many people have planted outside their compounds, parallel - it is a pleasing sight of them in bloom. I had another variety that had larger blooms. I planted it outside the compound where it still exists, neglected.
