any recollection of a euphorbia??

ken

Literally none whatsoever. But we didn't move in until May last year. It's possible that it either didn't bloom due to an early thaw and subsequent heavy frost that killed a lot around here. It's also possible that it looked so different by the time we got here that I just don't realize what this is yet.

As Ken suggests, it might be Euphorbia polychroma but none of my own plants sprawl like that--instead they have a dome-shaped, mounded form. Suggest you post the pic on the Name That Plant forum. Those folks are really good at nailing things.

If it is E. polychroma, it doesn't bloom--it's in the poinsettia family and instead the leaves at the tips of the stems change color.

This looks like something a neighbor gave me in a plant swap and I ended up learning it could be harmful and got rid of it - myrtle spurge. I'm kindof a newbie so it could be something else but thought I'd share just in case.

Here is a link that might be useful: myrtle spurge

It's Euphorbia myrsinites.

It's also a very spreading plant. It will eat up a huge area in a short time. However, it will do it beautifully. It is listed as a noxious weed in some areas. You may not have planted it.

One of the more invasive of the euphorbia species - self seeds like a maniac!

It actually looks more like the myrtle to me? No idea. I will watch it and report back. Thanks!

It's "myrtle spurge" or donkey-tail spurge, which is Euphorbia myrsinites, as was said - not Euphorbia polychroma which has a completely different habit, leaf shape, etc..

OK, I understand. I didn't look closely enough at the myrtle's Latin name. I'm going to see where else it crops up this year, if anywhere. Thanks, again!
