Jonstn Posted March 10, 2012 Hey all just wondering if anyone could tell me what this is? The only labelling on it was $70 lol, this place is an epic rip off, just wanted to check out their $1500 bonsai, did look pretty good though. Sorry for poor pic quality, phone + poor lighting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Hi Jonstn, it looks like an Euphorbia of some kind. Im not very familiar with them but have planted some for the first time this year. Bye Eg Edit: It has similarities to Euphorbia Lactea but thats just a wild guess. Edited March 10, 2012 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 space cadet swami Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Euphorbia lactea cristata ? I bought a variegated form from a market bout a month ago. It's only bout 6" high & wide, I think I paid about $15 for it. I'm told the variegated grow slower, due to less ability to photosynthesise....so I was told. On second glance, it looks grafted...

0 myco Posted March 11, 2012 theres heaps of those on ebay at the moment search cactus crest on ebay and you'll see heaps of em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jonstn Posted March 11, 2012 Oh yeah forgot to mention its grafted. It's pretty big, almost the size of my head, I got a pretty big head though haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 CβL Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah definitely a Euphorbia crest. I don't think enough people on SAB grow Euphorbias, so could be well worth it. Once I get my glasshouse set up, and some spare time, I may start getting a few together. I especially like some of the more columnar "cacti-like" ones.

0 Jonstn Posted March 11, 2012 I might have to jump on it then, is $70 reasonable? The place that is selling is notorious for overpricing the shit out of everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 2Deep2Handle Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) ive actually never seen such nice specimens of this.....and usually the ones sold everywhere are Euphorbia lactea crestata, either white(Cul. ghost) or red(Var. rubra), so a green one of that size is quite nice...being as its a graft (dont know if its possible on its own legs, but i assume it is)and quite large, i would price this at around $50, and being less common, i could be wrong. Bunnings would prob sell something like this for about $65-75 EDIT: i looked again, and the cresting on this looks like it is almost spiralling aswell, but i probably would go as far as to label it that also Edited March 11, 2012 by 2Deep2Handle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
