Euphorbia aeruginosa

     From the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, Euphorbia aeruginosa is a succulent shrub up to 12 inches high. It's beautiful blue green stems bear attractive markings and red spines in pairs and in time it develops an underground caudex. In late spring it produces bright yellow cyathia.
     I got this one at Arid Lands last summer. It didn't do much and shrivelled up pretty bad in the greenhouse over winter. But now it's coming back and I hope to see some good growth this year. I'll also try rooting a cutting or two. The lower picture is a closeuof a stem tip.
