Correction to Euphorbia, that is Euphorbia dendroides and not melitensis.

At best the differences are very slight, I never tried, and yours is very stunted so that complicates things no end!

As an aside Limonium is very easy to propagate, find some dried flowers, crush, and spread over soil, when the time is right you will have a forest!

When cultivated the plant produces very large sprays of flowers, seemingly endlessly late Spring through late Summer, it is very beautiful indeed, I have a couple and now I am constantly pulling seedlings out of unwanted locations...

Euphorbias also readily germinate from seed, again I have plenty of them growing unexpectedly.

I strained my eyes to see the photo and yours is either L. melitensis or L. zeraphae @ 1:2 rate.
