Euphorbias are very easy to grow. It's hard to imagine another plant that can thrive in neglect as much as this one, just provide a bright light for it and very little water. And yet it is ever-blooming, brightening up your life with various colors. The most common colors of flowers are red and yellow, dwarf forms are popular. But not everybody knows about exotic varieties with variegated and multi-colored flowers as well as florescent colors (yellow-green, bright orange, pink, etc.). These spectacular varieties are represented in Thailand in very wide selection. Euphobia millii was grown in Thailand for very long time. It believed that first plant was brought to Thailand by Chinese who immigrates to Thailand. The Thai name of Euphobia millii is developed form Chinese words of "PoySean". "Poy" means 8 and Sean means saint. Chinese grow E. millii as plant of fortune, they believe that when the plant produces 8 flower in an inflorescence, they will be lucky. The big flower hybrid of Euphobia millii first occured in Thailand in around 1990.The newer hybrid always had bigger flower and bizarre color. A single complete collection of cultivars wouldn't exist because too many hybrids were produced in past decade. |
