I don't know anything about cacti or succulents. There are more than 700 Euphorbia's listed in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=euphorbia&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search&offset=0

If no one comes along and recognizes your plant, scroll through some of the photo's in PF and see if you can find a match.

Amalie, since you aren't a paying subscriber you can't access the Cacti & Succulent forum. I posted a message over on that forum with a link back here so maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks who grow these plants will stop by and take a look at your photo, and possibly have an ID for you!

Possibly Eupuorbia polygona Haw. this one offses from the base, slightly wavy margins. ( or ) maybe Euphorbia horrida Roiss but it has the withish stem and snort spines, 'Snow Flake' I get these two mixed up, so be very careful for a correct identification. These are quite common so you should be able to get good help with the correct identification, these are succuletns. Norma

Looks like my Euphorbia anoplia that I picked up at Home Depot.

If it's whiter, then as Norma said, perhaps the Eupuorbia polygona, I got that one too from Home Depot.

The one on the left definitely looks like Euphorbia polygona Snowflake. The one on the right could be either E polygona or horrida... need to see the flowers (if purply- polygona, if yellow or green- horrida).

Hi All, looked at some of the links and the tallest one looks like Euphorbia horrida and the smaller one sure looks like Euphorbia polygona Snowflake. Is it possible to have 2 different ones in the same pot? After looking at the links , I am more confused lol so many of them look so much alike. I will have to wait to next Spring when they bloom to know for sure which type I have.
Thanks everyone
