Default mystery plant driving me crazy!

"lauraliam" wrote

i am wondering if any one out there will recognise a plant that i have
growing, which is driving me crazy. i have spent hours googling, asked
all the keen gardeners i know and still i am no closer to finding a name
for this plant.
i naively bought it from poundland, it was supposed to be gypsophilla
however it must have been packaged wrongly as it is not even close

((BIG SNIP))
i have uploaded a few pics to photobucket if anyone could kindly take a
look.
i am beginning to lose sleep over the mystery plant and i am
impatient to see if it will ever flower. it is very interesting
looking!

thanks for reading, hoping someone wiser than myself has the answer


Are you saying you bought a Caper Spurge in Poundland? Bought one!
In fact a very architectural weed but they do seed around so get it up
before it does and wear gloves, the white latex type sap is nasty on the
skin and worse in the eyes or anywhere delicate. Take care.
