I know very little about cactus plants, however I had some free time and checked with Planta… they were definitely out to lunch! Instead, I went to ChatGPT and this is what they came up with. I definitely think it’s some kind of African milk tree. I hope this helps. It is definitely a very interesting plant, and will be quite a conversation piece!

Soooooo, what have you decided to name your plant?

#### Sami replied on 2025-02-07

Haha! I am brewing on a good name but it hasn't came to me yet. I am taking suggestions 🤔

#### Lynda replied on 2025-02-07

My husband suggested, “the standup guy”…🙄!

Euphorbia trigona, I believe.
