It’s the second Sunday of 2010, time for Today’s Flower. My entry for TF today is a genus of plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae.
Euphorbia is one of the 2160 species of Euphorbiaceae, a diverse genera in a plant kingdom and is sometimes referred to as Spurges. It is a woody shrubs, an annual or perennial herbs with a caustic, poisonous milky sap. Like all members of the family Euphorbiaceae, all spurges have unisexual flowers.

This euphorbia plant was taken at my hubby's parents garden.
