Another type of Euphorbia perhaps?

Whatever it is, I like how the plant maches its background!

Hmmm... looks like the previous posts Euphorbia tirucalli. I haven't the foggiest.

BUT, I think a nice experiment is to go to said plant, take 4 or 6 cuttings and start them. Grow them with two different backgrounds (or more). This should shed some light (pun) on if there is some sort of advanced mimicry chameleo thing going on. Could be very interesting, might have to order a plant of my own...
