Plants of this nature used to be in the genus Euphorbia. Now most
botanists place them in the segregate genus Tithymalus. There are many
species; most have "spurge" as part of the common name.

Can you identify this strange flower?

I would describe it has having 50 3/4 inch green "flowers" on
3 or 4 inch stems on the top of a two-foot stalk.

It's in my back yard in northern California, probably put
there by me unwittingly.

I'd appreciate knowing your name for this thing.
