In Bloom: Sticks on Fire

My sticks on fire (Euphorbia tirucalli) is blooming! The flowers are so wee, I almost missed them. They’re not much to write home about (or on a website for that matter), but it was such a monumental occasion, I felt it warranted pulling out the camera and posting about it anyway.

I grow this tender succulent in a pot and keep it indoors through much of the year. It is transferred outdoors in the summer where it takes on the fiery red colouration to which its name refers.

  1. I love it when succulents bloom. They show a whole different side of their personality.

  2. Mine hasn’t bloomed yet (or maybe I missed it?!). Cheers for the share :)
