Q: Hello- Do you carry a form of cactus called a “forever flower” it has small pink flowers oval leaves and grows tall and skinny. If you are familiar I would like to know the full scientific name and where they are from. If you can help out with these info. that would be great.
thanks for your time.

A: Kendra,
I am not familiar with “Forever Flower” as a common name, however from
your description I am guessing you are talking about Euphorbia milli, a
very cool succulent native to Madagascar. It is in the family
Euphorbiaceae, so it is not a cactus, but a similar looking succulent.
There are a number of hybrid clones that come in a rainbow of bloom
colors and sizes. They are wonderful plants as they bloom almost
non-stop year round. We grow the standard species, as well as some of
the “Thai hybrids” that have larger, showier blooms. Links here, here, here and here.
Please look over the links and see if this is the plant you are
interested in.
