SATAY BY THE BAY

cycads and Bachelor's Buttons

This corner with the dinosaur relic bone, Olea europaea (Common Name: Olive Tree) tree and Cycads has a new lease of life recently and in my opinion, is looking better than before with the Adenium obesum (Common Name: Desert Rose), Euphorbia geroldii (Common Name: Thornless Euphorbia) and Gomphrena globosa (Common Name: Bachelor's Button).

Olive Tree

dinosaur relic

EUPHORBIA GEROLDII

It goes by the common name Thornless Euphorbia. How original can it be?

But yes, unlike most of the other similar looking Euphorbia millii, this succulent has no thorny spines along its stems and branches. So you can safely and easily handle this plant if you intend to propagate it by cuttings. The prominently flashy red flowers occur in pairs and the 2 red petals hold the yellow anthers within a flower.
