Strange flower in Californa yard
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. http://frontal-lobe.info/flowers/19.html also http://frontal-lobe.info/flowers/20.html It's in my back yard in northern California, probably put there by me unwittingly. I'd appreciate knowing your name for this thing. Mason C |

I don't know the species, but it looks similar to Euphorbia characias and Euphorbia x martinii -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

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. M. Reed Mason C wrote: Can you identify this strange flower?
