| I have two... This is in the front and its like a chameleon! Its been changing colors from greens, to burn orange, to yellow, red, brown, and mixes of all the above! I have another one in the back that I believe had little bright yellow pops on it and now its all a very pretty, pure green. I know a friend of mine told me what it was... I even wrote it down... and now I can't remember or find my note ha ha. And its been so long she doesn't remember what plant I'm talking about. Any help? I love these things! |

| Pretty sure is E. polychroma 'Bonfire'. My E. dulcis 'chameleon' was smaller and had more of an upright habit. The whole plant was more delicate looking and the top segments more branched. Ya' can kind of tell that is a polychroma by how "moundy" it is and the seed clusters at the top (never saw seeds form on my 'Chameleon', though it sure re-seeded out the yin-yang, LOL). 'Bonfire' Euphorbia has that nice dark burgundy coloration that tends to green out as summer comes on. ;-) |

| Here is a pic of my E polychroma 'Bonfire' as it was in mid April, mid May, late May and mid June. Do we have a match? |

| Nice pictures, Gazania |

| THANK YOU EVERYONE! Gazania... that is beautiful! The one I have in front never looked like your first picture of purple and green (though now I wish it would... it looks amazing!) but it did go through the green/yellow, to the darker reds, burnt oranges and browns, etc. Actually the picture I posted is probably from April or May. The one in my back yard looked like your second picture and then the yellow faded to all green. Thank you all so much! And love the method to remembering the name lol... I'll need it! |
