Nice pics from that new camera, Steve.
The blossom close-ups are very cool!
My "markdown" euphorbia is growing leaves but no flowers yet.
I gather they like cool temps in the winter GH?

Ah, yes. E. millii (Crown of thorns) I use to have two large ones that would bloom profusely all year. If I remember right, mine liked a lot of water. If I would forget to water them, they would drop quite a few leaves and stop flowering. Nice plants, Steve.
Happy growing.

Thanks for the comments!
GH has been a bit on the cold side lately, surprised that one hasn't froze being next to the door
The new camera is a used Ricoh from eBay, only a 3.4 megapixel, but it has a macro focus distance of 1cm.

Wow, 1cm macro????
Mine says "4 inches from subject"....
Is that your third camera ... I bet you're considering taking them all apart and creating one super camera
I've read that euphorbia from S.Africa can survive brief freezing temps if temperature rises again quickly the next morning.
Others are reported to prefer no lower than 10C 50F.
