# Found this very strange succulent in a hanging planter at a garden…

_Posted by Alexander 🌵🌱🌿🪴🌻 on 2025-03-26_

Found this very strange succulent in a hanging planter at a garden store. Never seen anything like it, but it's thriving and I separated it out. Assistance with ID, esp scientific name, would be deeply appreciated!

Euphorbia flanaganii “Medusa Head,” I believe.
