Euphorbia 'Flamingo' - This succulent is similar to 'Apache Red' except for the following three differences. The bracts are pink, the leaves a little longer, and rather than growing to a rounded shrub it is more erect with less branching. There is not much written about this variety; we can only describe it from our experience. The largest planting seen was a 1 to 2 foot tall and wide rounded shrub. It has many one half inch long spines. In the warmer months, bright pink bracts appear on pink 2 inch long branching flowers talks. Best in sun, protected from frost, with little watering. Hardy to 25-30° F.
