Beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing this info about the plant. I’ve never heard of it. Does it have a medicinal purpose?

Thank you so much, I appreciate you. I researched and found this: “This plant also has uses in traditional medicine; like many other species of genus Euphorbia its toxic white and sticky sap has been used to treat skin excrescences, like cancers, tumors, and warts, since ancient times.” Much love my friend. 🙏🌹
