hi, I’m looking for an ID on this euphorbia please 

does anyone know if it’s a particularly poisonous type because we have children who like to help with the gardening

    No idea which one it is @markos, but it could do with a prune back to encourage better growth from the base.
    They aren't poisonous unless you eat them  ;)

    The only issue with them is the sap which they leak when you prune, so wear some good gloves, and handle the pruned stems carefully. It sometimes helps to have a bucket of water nearby to drop them into. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I was planning to cut down in spring... just enjoying the coral stems at the moment!

    They are rather attractive @markos :)
