Euphorbia Flowers from Chartres, France
The name Euphorbia is considered by many in South Africa as synonymous with poison. This is a very unique kind of plant. When we think of plant kingdom we associate green color with leaves, never with flowers.
Green flowers are rare, but green flowers do exist. Some time back I had shared a green rose with you, see it here. Some flowers when tended in right conditions get a green tinge in their petals.
Today I have Euphorbia flowers for you which are green in color. I found these flowers completely drenched in the garden of Chartres cathedral. The lengthy curved branches have tiny flowers. The leaves are pointed and small rounded flowers within them. Since the flowers are so tiny, it gives the impression they are green. Just one word of caution, when you try to break them, it produces a milky white substance which can irritate sensitive skin.
Caution with Euphorbia Flowers
Those who are planting Euphorbia plants in their garden have to be careful especially while pruning or replanting them. If the white milky substance squirts to your eye it can have disastrous effect. Some beautiful things of life are best admired from far!

Neat pattern this plant and its flowers create.
I’ve never heard of it but its gorgious!
It is an old post but specifically and separately for the challenge. Saludos
That’s a new bit of information Indrani, Thank you. I agree some beautiful things are best admired from far. In my childhood all of us cousins were asked not to enter the little ponds around the maternal home to pluck this extremely beautiful flower! The same warning, the white blood would cause disastrous effect. I wonder whether it was the disastrous effect of the flower’s blood or the danger of the swampy pond.. no more ponds so never could know for sure
Beautiful capture!
Well shot! 🙂
A diff. nd a unique flower.:D
beautify of nature 🙂
Beautiful! I wonder how these flowers attract insects! May be through their fragrance?

They are gorgeous! I've seen several green flowers, including green orchids.

From its appearance it comes across as a bit shady!! No wonder it secretes the white milky substance which irritates the skin.
Thanks for sharing Indrani 🙂
