Title: Euphorbia that popped up in the garden
Post by: sokol on October 02, 2019, 06:34:28 PM

Could anyone identify this species? It flowered end of may and now I have some seeds for the exchange. It is nearly one meter tall.

Perhaps Euphorbia lathyris, caper spurge, although hard to be sure from these photos.

Thanks Ashley, that is it. I have looked in the net and leaves and fruits fit very well.
