The first appears to be a "Pencil cactus or Pencil tree", the others are familiar to me, but I cannot come up with a name. |

#3 could be "African Milk Tree" (euphorbia trigona) I had one for a while, but it froze (my mistake!). #4 is definitely some type of cactus-but I don't know which. #2 still looks familiar, but no success yet. |

thanks carolyncat353, i think perhaps "euphorbia trigona" is not suitable for this plant (photo #3), because the euphorbia in pic #3 has some leaves on the top of plant, but Euphorbia trigona has no leaves on the top of plant. i search the web and found the name "euphorbia resinifera", but i think this name also not suitable for this plant because euphorbia resinifera has flowers on top....... maybe someone knows?....

I looked it up, too, in some plant books I have. It does highly resemble the Crown of Thorns (euphorbia milii) I have seen this plant in a nursery. I think that is it! |
