I went to the chiropractor this morning and in exchange for sorting
out my neck and giving him a cheque, his wife presented me with
something she wanted us to ID. We have no idea. It look a bit like
asparagus when tightly closed but is a dark, reddish-bronze and when
open just has little sort of lippy things sticking out each side all
the way up the stem. She didn't give me a height but it sounds like
about 12". She said that last year she had a couple of spears and
this year there's a couple of clumps.

I have a dark red euphorbia that looks like that early in the year?
