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 :D
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???? :shock: :D
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 :lol:

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.
