The euphorbia, with a genus of over 2000 members, is one of the largest genera of flowering plants. From tiny annuals to a tree-like plant of 30m (98 feet) or more, one euphorbia can look quite different from another. The subject of my photograph is Euphorbia myersinites, a trailing plant often found on rockeries in Britain. Like all its brethren this plant has a poisonous, milky sap that can cause a rash on the hands of a careless gardener. I have featured a Euphorbia on the blog before. It shares little in appearance with the example above.
