new plants

as the plants outside are dying (the past few very cold nights have really sped this process along), i bought two new plants for inside at the stockley gardens art show this past weekend. they had cacti and succulents; they were so pretty and inexpensive. it was only because i already have so many inside and a lack of space that i bought only two.

i had to do some research, but it seems i now own a euphorbia leuconeura, or madagascar jewel, and a ghost plant. i learned that the euphorbia is an incredibly common type of plant, with thousands of species. the one i bought, however, is not one i have seen before. also, i learned it is a relative of the poinsettia. this surprises me because they do not look similar at all!
