We have a few of these plants growing in the garden. They first got my attention because the leaves grew at 90-degree angles.
They have grown into this and one has little round balls growing on them. I thought they might bloom, but so far, no blossoms.
Do any of my garden savvy friends know what this plant is?
**Edit**Thanks to Merinz who identified it as Euphorbia lathyris.
I love it! My mom does the same thing; wait and see what it will become. Maybe you get your answer; maybe you get more questions! The leaves popping out at 90 degrees are interesting indeed, and it's healthy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like a euphorbia to me. They usually have a flower head with lime green flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe flower heads are usually more compact, your flower head is a bit more 'stalky' than usual as if the plant is growing in a shady position.
They self seed very readily and I have them popping up all over the place. They can grow quite tall.
Haven't got a clue, but it looks promising...
ReplyDeleteI think its name is Harold.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything like this. May be, I would wait for an answer or for the blooms.
ReplyDeleteCannot give any helpful answers to the question posed, although I think I might recognise the leaves...my guess is maybe lisianthus? If so, you're in for a real treat! They are superbly long lasting flowers for the vase ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm actually here to return your visit to my blog! Thanks so much for popping by & leaving your message :) You've piqued my interest especially now I see where you're from!
