Euphorbia is a thorny plant oozing out latex if a leaf is pulled out or a stem cut These are all minus points but as you can see the flowers are beautiful and its perennial.
If one knows how to handle this plant it is an asset in any garden. Propagation is done by cuttings. And plants also emerge from flowers. One needs to carefully separate that flower from the plant and plant it separately and it grows into a beautiful plant
Euphorbia comes in several colours. We have the pink and orange and I have just planted the cuttings of the red colour which was given to me by my sister who I had visited a few days ago. I also have a small plant in white.
This plant needs handling and I know how to.

@allknowing - The tree is called Euphorbia ampliphylla and tallest is 98 feet (thirty meters). The tree is not pretty.

I didn't know the name though I have seen it many times. I would love to have one in my garden, but not sure where to fit it. My garden is getting overcrowded.

You can have it in a pot and it will stay there for keeps
