Awesome but mysterious!! Help identify.. - March 4th, 2007 at 09:17 PM
Hi ALL...
I have this awesomely wonderful-to-watch plant that I am starting to need to find out how to control. It is, as it turns out, quite pernicious (find starts growing far from the mother plant!) But I LOVE the drama of this plant.
Let's see if I remember how to post a photo..
This is March picture! It is dramatic for months before and after this...
It bleeds white, and profusely. I think it's sticky sap. (I try to avoid touching it!!)
I need to know if my containment (usually a HARD cut back in fall or late winter (I blew it this year, so I'm in for an adventure) is the best way to tend it. Just how hard CAN I cut it back? And what time of the year is best.??
AND: What IS it!? (Okay, next time I WILL save the tag!!!!)
THANKS SO MUCH for you help!
