Euphorbia Horridia

Now there is some color contrasting going on this plant.............the flower bracts are amazing with the maroon and yellow colors against the chalky color of the plant. This is the first time this Horridia has bloomed for me. 

Euphorbia horrida is a perfect example of parallel evolution. 
There are no true cacti native to the old world but many 
South African succulents
 have evolved to resemble new world cacti.
