I think most gardeners evolve to the unusual, even if that means a rare or uncommon variety of their favorite flower.

Now I love euphorbias (your Blackbird looks wonderful), wildflowers, anything with big foliage. There are just so many wonderful plants to learn about and grow.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-30258242994625803502011-03-26T06:18:00.651-07:002011-03-26T06:18:00.651-07:00Lynn - Personally I haven't had a problem with...Lynn - Personally I haven't had a problem with that, but I don't cut mine - I'd love for them to grow as tall as possible. I am aware of it, though, so if I cut it I'd be very careful. Plus, I always wear gloves and glasses. I also don't have children at home. If I did, I would probably be a little more careful about all my plantings.<br /><br />Masha - It is thrilling to HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-34114252215661500702011-03-25T21:55:15.700-07:002011-03-25T21:55:15.700-07:00Good luck with your euphorbias, it is such a joy t...Good luck with your euphorbias, it is such a joy to find a plant you love growing.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-80454345382520420332011-03-25T21:17:01.248-07:002011-03-25T21:17:01.248-07:00I've seen Euphorbias numerous times and have b...I've seen Euphorbias numerous times and have been tempted to buy one but have been hesitant due to what I've read about the sap causing skin irritation.
