Euphorbia francoisii, a small caudiciform succulent from Madagascar, has
the most variable leaves in the plant kingdom. No two plants have the
exact same leaf shape or color, even if they are clones. The new leaves
emerge as new shapes and colors, completely unpredictable! Some plants
will have several different leaf shapes, sizes and colors all on one
plant! So weird. This plant is on the critically endangered list.
I will be painting more from the exotic world of succulents. They are some of the most interesting plants on Earth. For the real thing, check out Paradise Found Nursery.
