One succulent, numerous names

Euphorbia tithymaloides

This plant is also known as Pedilanthus tithymaloides, Devil's Backbone, Christmas candle,  Zig zag plant, Redbird flower, Jacob's ladder.......this list goes on and on. So having said that, I will use the new name, Euphorbia tithymaloides. These cuttings were made from the mother plant in the fall. They have rooted and are now waiting to to potted.
