Pretty Plant

I had choir rehearsal on Thursday night. I stayed through after school, but did go out to eat. One of my regular places is a nearby IHOP. When I come back to school from that IHOP, I pass by a plant that I really like the look of. I tried to get a picture of it, but it came out blurry:

It’s a euphorbia. I have learned since moving here that two big categories of succulents are euphorbia and cactus. Euphorbias are all from the Old World – mostly Africa. Cactus plants are from the New World – the Americas.

I tend to like euphorbias better, because they have shapes I think are more interesting. My Dragon Bones plant is a euphorbia. But cactus plants tend to have prettier flowers, so they have that in their favor.

I love learning about new plants! So fun!
