A plant in Sussex

Could anyone identify for me this plant which is growing in my Father's garden in Sussex, England? Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some variety of Euphorbia, from the look of it. Mikenorton (talk) 21:18, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Euphorbia amygdaloides var.robbeia, known as Mrs Robb's bonnet apparently. Mikenorton (talk) 21:23, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikenorton: That looks like it - the article says it thrives in the dry shade of trees, which the ones at Dad's are. DuncanHill (talk) 21:27, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably Euphorbia Amigdaloides.

I advise you to use the free "iNaturalist" application on your Smartphone, so you can identify the plants on the spot. It refers to wikipedia once identified if you wish. Malypaet (talk) 23:13, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I so love the word spurge. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:22, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
