Flower of the Day – Snowflake

This is my next entry for the Flower of the Day (FOTD) photo challenge hosted by Cee’s Photography.

Just like all my Poinsettias, my tiny little Snowflake is also flowering.

Also known as little Christmas flower, white lace euphorbia, snow bush, snows of Kilimanjaro and white Christmas bush, the Snowflake belongs to the same plant family as Poinsettias, Euphorbiaceae, and the same genus, Euphorbia. 

I guess that makes these plants cousins as well as stunning additions to any garden.

I have nursed two little plants through an extremely hot summer, kept them in pots, undercover, and encouraged them to live, and now that they are big enough to transplant into my front garden, I can hardly wait to see the spectacular show they will put on this time next year.
