Euphorbia Bonfire and Mystery Plant updates

 

Euphorbia Bonfire

 

Euphorbia replaced

I evidently cut one of the euphorbia too hard back as it's showed no sign of growth while the others have put on some new leaves. I therefore dug it out and replaced it with the one rather iffy-looking cutting that survived from last year.

...at least I'm consistent at getting my finger into the photo.

Mystery euphorbia update

Extraordinary flowers-growing-from-flowers form of this plant. Are they seed pods?

Front garden euphorbia cut back

Mystery Euphorbia

I found this euphorbia-looking plant growing in the garden last autumn. The single-stem nature of the plant isn't great, but the colour of the stem at the top is lovely, and the 'flowers' are interesting and unusual.

Front garden update

Apart from the rudbeckia. I haven't planted out any summer bedding (I grew some coleus) as the heatwave/drought has continued. Several of the heuchera have died (I must admit I forgot to water the front garden during the early part of the summer). However, the euphorbia seem to be coping well so I'm planning on planting more of them in the autumn, and the oxalis seem to be growing back after their trim on 4th July.

Euphorbias pruned and cuttings taken

I cut all the flowering stems from the euphorbia, then selected a few of the remaining non-flowering stems to take as cuttings.

Late winter updates

This has apparently been the warmest winter on record, although we're currently in a cold spell, and there have been a few frosts in the last few weeks.

Small flowers are starting to form on a couple of the Armeria.
