I have a plant in my garden that my husband dug up from the garden at his
parents new house, We have no idea what is is, but he likes it and wants
it
to stay - could anyone identify it please? I created a webshots album
with
a couple of photos as I couldn't find anywhere else to upload the
pictures
to. They can be found at http://community.webshots.com/user/4weekids

Euphorbia Lathyris
aka The Mole Plant, cos it's supposed to deter them. I don't have
either, so can't comment on the aptness of its name :-)

I second the ID. I grew it, but found it too 'architectural' for my garden
and gave it away. It's nice enough, but almost artificially regular, so
your eyes kind of swerve towards it. If a plant were designed by the MOD it
would look like this.
