    Looks like E. x martini, embracing a Juncus!

    Is this a euphoria please? It's tiny but very tenacious 🙄 Only about 8 inches high or so.

    @bullfinch definitely. 
    I'm not massively keen on the bigger varieties but the OH has planted up a pot with a dinky type, a bronze grass of some sort and a little Appalachian Trail tiarella . The yellows greens and bronze-y colours, and the white "foam" from the tiarella make quite a striking shade pot.
    And as a fan of container planting I really like Euphorbia hypericifolia for its clouds of white flowers

    Yes  @bullfinch :)
    The great thing about those acid green ones is that they work very well with dark colours. Purples, that black lily turf, dark, rich reds etc. 
    That sounds a good combo @mikeymustard. I have a reddish/bronze grass in front of mine, in a bed with oranges, purples and other hot colours. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I love them.  I bought 6 or so Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae two years ago ... this year I harvested some of the spreading growth to plant 10 or so small plants in another area where I want to let it run rampant.   Great looking flowers in a woodland setting - and evergreen ground cover as well.

    E. cyparissias.

    Always feel like they could grow to be giants and chase you down and eat you. There's something of the alient triffid about them. Makes my skin crawl.
