Misc Facts
Euphorbia: for Euphorbus, corpulent Greek physician of Juba II, King of Mauretania. Juba, educated in Rome, and married to daughter of Antony and Cleopatra. From eu, "good" and phorbe, "pasture or fodder," thus giving euphorbos the meaning "well fed." corollata: Latin for "with a corolla" (#152)

Comparing this plant to Diamond Dust Euphorbia with white flowers, Breathless Blush is a bit more aggressive.
