"Happiness is a state of Euphorbia" is written on a sign at the entrance of the greenhouse of my friend Jaap. All lovers of Euphorbia’s do need some euphoria from time to time to uphold the pleasure in growing and multiplying these interesting plants. Expanding the limits of your hobby are necessary to keep the focus. Successfully growing your cherished plants gives one great satisfaction. But soon enough every sprout, which dares to appear, is cut off for growing into a new plant and sowing seeds is the next logical step. Obtaining a broader assortment leads to a specialization. Maintaining and expanding of such a specialized collection is for many of us a goal in itself and keeps us from the street for many years.
